Every week Home Media Magazine reports the latest Nielson VideoScan numbers for the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD battle. They include three figures: Weekly, Year-to-date, and Since Inception. Weekly numbers examine discs sold at retail over the course of just the current week, the YTD numbers look at sales from the first week ending in 2007 to the present, and the since inception numbers show the relative performance of Blu-ray and HD DVD discs since the formats' respective births.

Weekly sales: Blu-ray leads HD DVD 61% to 39%, 100:63.9, or 1.56:1
YTD sales: Blu-ray leads HD DVD 67% to 33%, 100:49.3, or 2.03:1
Since Inception sales: Blu-ray leads HD DVD 59% to 41%, 100:69.5, or 1.44:1
Not a huge week for new Blu-ray releases, yet Blu-ray still outsells HD DVD despite Toshiba's ongoing $100 off any HD DVD player sale. Although that may be pushing some players off store shelves, it doesn't look to be doing the same for discs.

With no new major titles for the week, the chart pretty much mirrors last week's chart. Again we see 6 of out the Top 10 titles were Blu-ray, with 4 being HD DVD. Also, the Top 3 titles were all Blu-ray!
Next weeks data should be more interesting, with the online Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sony Pictures sale going head to head with Toshiba's $100 off any player sale... and heading into Father's Day.
