.....The nascent Blu-ray Disc saved the day for the sellthrough business, per Nielsen VideoScan sales data, with DVD unit sales in the first quarter down 1.2% from the first quarter of 2007 but Blu-ray Disc sales up a whopping 351%.......

......Blu-ray had its second-best week ever in the seven days ending March 23, and we anticipate Blu-ray sales of $800 million to $1billion-plus for all of 2008, up dramatically from approximately $300 million last year...........

Go blu-ray, Week ending March 23rd was better than two of the weeks in the December before Christmas, 351% very impressive. Now if we could only get some new disc numbers, like how many discs that actually is and how much I am Legend has sold.

According to Grubert http://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.ph...2&postcount=59

Q1 2007 BD sold 830,000

So Q1 2008 BD had to have sold 3,740,000

The growth rate from 1st Qtr 2006 to 1st Qtr 2007 is even more impressive.
