Is the format war finally coming to its conclusion? According to new data from Home Media Magazine, it may not be long as the HD DVD format has failed to enter even one title on the top 10 best selling titles on HD for three weeks running.

According to the charts, for the week ending on January 27, the top 10 list was dominated by the Blu-ray format (with Saw IV sitting comfortably on top). For the same week, HD DVD only has 18% of market share against Blu-ray’s 82%.

Last week, it was also revealed that Blu-ray outperformed the HD DVD in terms of hardware sales, grabbing 90% of the market share the week after Warner Bros. announced that they will go Blu-ray exclusive.

How long will HD DVD hold out? Or does it have something up its sleeve? Check back for updates.
