BD Alliance Claims 70% of HD Movie Sales!

Couple of weeks ago we reported that BD players were closing the gap with HD-DVD players concerning sales of HD movies. Last data from the USA shows that based on sales of a movie available in both HD format "The Departed", 53640 units were purchased in BD format while "only" 31590 units in HD-DVD.
It seems that the PlayStation 3 effect starts to impact the battle between both formats, at least concerning sales of HD movies; as for blue lased-based burners/drives found in computers BD keeps leading hands down.
