Some Blu-Ray, HD DVD Discs Sell Only 200 Copies

Posted by Zonk on from the i-think-that's-called-weak-sauce dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Much has been made of the strong sales for some recent high-def disc releases (such as 'Casino Royale' on Blu-ray), but a new Sony research report reveals some startlingly low sales numbers for other titles released on the next-gen formats. When disc sales of under 1000 can land you on a weekly best-sellers list, you know your format is in its infancy."

    Bet against everything the slashdotters like.

    The iPod will fail! The PS3 will never sell! Blu-Ray will be trounced by HDDVD! Snakes on a Plane - Boffo!

    The only exception at this point is the Zune - but that's got more failure-mass than a white-dwarf. So I'm not sure it counts.

    Can't wait for the iPhone to join the hit-list. I'm buying one because it's pretty much negative comments here. Solid gold endorsement if I ever heard one.

    Got any least-favorite lottery numbers?
