Boz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Following a dry spell in the first quarter of this year, the HD DVD camp rebounded in Q2 to release more high-def titles than its next-gen rival.According to industry tipsheet The DVD Release Report, 70 HD DVD titles hit store shelves during the period from April 1 through June 30, compared to 63 Blu-ray titles in the same timeframe. That's quite a jump for HD DVD, which got trounced in the same metric by Blu-ray over the first three months of the year, releasing only 29 titles (compared to Blu-ray's 69). HD DVD backers have pointed to the format's dearth of new releases in the early part of the year as a primary reason for what quickly became a widening sales lead for Blu-ray.

Slimy Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Finally some good news for HD DVD! Maybe just maybe this will turn into a war again soon, and not a freaking "we support blu-ray" campaign.

Boz Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah this is true, my collection now has 40+ HD-DVD titles and I have about 10 BD titles. And I'm not hesitant to buy BD titles, it's just that a lot of good stuff has been coming out on HD-DVD.

AlphaPrime Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 That makes it even more embarrassing for HD-DVD as Blu-ray is still outselling them 2:1 each week with fewer movies available in that period.

QFT. Without a doubt... I've been slowly, but surely building my Blu-ray collection. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571508-more-hd-dvd-titles-released-in-q2-than-blu-ray/#findComment-588675088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreqFace Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm not buying any HD movies of either format until one comes out victorious. I'm not wasting my money on a format that could very well fail.
