Blu-ray takes the victory in Europe
Not too long after Blu-ray discs reached the 1 million milestone, Blu-ray.com reports that Sony‘s high-definition format extended its dominating hand to Europe.
Less than two months have passed since the PS3’s release in Europe, and Blu-ray has already taken over HD-DVD in the sales race. 64% (and rising) of the high-def movie sales is owned by Sony, with a ratio of 3-to-1 against Microsoft.
Top executives went as far as saying that there is no format war outside the US: Blu-ray takes the cake hands down. It’s not difficult to imagine that European sales will come close to Japanese numbers, where 96% of HD movies sold are Blu-ray.
