Blu-ray Opens Big Sales Lead Over HD DVD

Maybe it's due to Sony's inclusion of a Blu-ray Disc player in the new PlayStation 3 or perhaps it's due to wider Hollywood studio acceptance, but Blu-ray Disc sales far surpassed those of rival HD DVD in the first quarter. In Q1, more than 1.2 million high-definition DVDs were sold, 70% of which were Blu-ray. Even in movies like "The Departed" that were released on both Blu-ray and HD DVD, Blu-ray still won out handily.

More details from the Hollywood Reporter.
