Still hope HD DVD wins or maybe the two can coexist.

Granted, but I was commenting on the comment regarding the comment (etc etc) that it was DVD that was currently dominating rather than HD-DVD at this particular time on the Amazon "post-holiday all-format charts", when clearly the current numbers show otherwise. I agree that, overall, DVD still has a commanding share of the market (though it is dwindling slightly).

um
actually
if you go to eproductwars.com/dvd you will see a day-by-day collection of real-time amazon stats and charts for the last year...

Since the 26th sales of both formats picked up, BUT Bluray has been getting their butts kicked for the past week on Amazon....the HD DVD sales are slowing down a bit now, but the BOGO sale is over...but I would expect with all the new players out there in the HD DVD camp Bluray is now going to have a run for their money....
