If you go to the Nielsen thread on AVS you can ask how the numbers where assumed.

This is better than nothing, but it is still not complete or official. As I suspected though we are talking about some very low numbers here. Hopefully these numbers will pickup for both formats..

A similar chart and discussion is on this board already. The number discs sold for this chart comes from this article:

That was week ending Feb 18. The week ending Feb 25th numbers are



100 units to 94.25 units for software in Blu-ray's favour.

Year to date is 100.00 to 48.30

Interesting that even with a high profile release in Feb on both formats (The Departed), the YTD ratio was about the same and HD-DVD continues to drop on the since inception numbers.
