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 60% to 40%, 100:66.7, or 1.5:1
YTD sales: Blu-ray leads HD DVD 66% to 34%, 100:51.5, or 1.94:1
Since Inception sales: Blu-ray leads HD DVD 61% to 39%, 100:63.9, or 1.56:1
Another so-so week overall, with no big releases on either side, the numbers largely follow last weeks, though Blu-ray made up some ground. It's been a slow few weeks, though the tide of titles will be hitting soon.

Look familiar? Basically a mirror of last week's numbers... and next week has an even sadder release slate. But, we are rapidly coming up on the big fall release weeks which will hopefully really start to move the numbers.
