BD SA - 65%; HD-DVD 28%; Combo 7% -- leaked latest NPD numbers.

Article contains some of the regular gems from Jodi:

“I feel it’s important to point out that there were several promotions being run by Blu-ray manufacturers that offered free players with the purchase of select HDTVs. These retail promos mainly highlighted HDTV ads around the Super Bowl.

Sally also pointed out that not all retailers report sales figures to NPD, including some key regional accounts and e-tailers, which could affect the count.

“Since Amazon.com is a public site, I can point out that Toshiba’s HD DVD players consistently rank as the top sellers of all DVD players on their site.” Sally said.

Spin all you want, Jodi. But you need to get that resume together- don't wait until the last minute.

As always, these figures don't take account of PS3 sales which are far larger than SA Blu-Ray or HD-DVD sales.

So much for the Price cut, and the Superbowl ad

Umm, those excuses were good 3 or 4 weeks ago. They can't just keep recycling the same ones.

Yep...the Hindenburg tried to keep afloat with a 2.7 million dollar superbowl ad, but unfortunately still seems on target to explode soon.

If the numbers are true. That's great.

I don't think mass adoption will occure until standalones become mainstream. Without firmware updates. Come on guys we're on the 3rd generation players already.

"Due to policies against publicly releasing its weekly sales data, a spokesperson for The NPD Group would not confirm the numbers sent to TWICE."

So those numbers basically mean crap, since they are not CONFIRMED by the NPD group...

Just wondering, Steve, have you ever posted anything that doesn't use the tired expression "blu bot"? You 'ers are getting boring. You need to step up your game.

Wow... combo players are really picking up!! I remember when they were only 1-3% MAXIMUM!! I guess a lot of former HD DVD exclusive supporters are starting to pick them up? Samsung seems to be in a really great position right now
