According to Nielsen, which weekly reports hi-def sales, the Blu-ray movie sales outsold the HD-DVD movie sales with a lead of 85:15 in the week ending January 13th. This is the first full week after Warner Brothers announced they would start to support Blu-ray exclusively starting June this year.
In 2007 the Blu-ray movie sales outsold the HD-DVD movie sales by a margin of 64:36. And in the first week of this year, Blu-ray outsold HD-DVD 65:35.
The best sold hi-def movie this time is 3:10 to Yuma, which is an exclusive Blu-ray title. Last week it was Resident Evil: Extinction, also an exclusive Blu-ray title. The best sold HD-DVD was The Kingdom, which only sold 10% as many copies as 3:10 to Yuma. None of the HD-DVD movies made it in the top 10 last week.
