Blu-ray to DVD


$376 M to $315 M


54.4 % to 45.6 %.



Its not units, but it is progress for Blu-ray in this retail category.


The top 10 brands also have 95.1% of Blu-ray hardware sales and that would be considered extremely brand dominated and Sony Samsung and Panasonic are the top 3 brands for Blu-ray sales.
