Look guys. These are the facts. Say Spiderman 3 did sell over 130,000 discs on blu-ray, and say Transformers sold 115,000, that would mean Transformers is not to short of spiderman (that is very close). Also Sony could be counting the Spiderman trilogy since it has Spiderman 3 bundled in(excluding the PS3 40gig bundle). With all those PS3 systems out there, they should of sold a easy 400,000 discs they supposly shipped. This goes to prove that Blu-Ray is not killing HD-DVD at all. Also if Parmount did sell over 190,000 of Transformers like they said, and is still the highest non nuetral format release, then studios will definitly be looking at that. In the end, the Blu-Ray version of Spiderman 3 should of sold out consideriing all those PS3 out there. This is not looking Good for Blu-Ray. (the sales figure is from Sony, just like Paramount did for Transformers. So it could be not true.)

Interesting.. with SOOOO many more supposed Blu-Ray players in homes (PS3) it's kinda sad it didn't outsell Transformers HD-DVD by default.

Warning to all users: BluCanada and bubblebathgirl are going to come here and go crazy when they wake up and get ready for another day of sitting around the house posting on forums while we are all at our jobs. They will also flood the comments sections with their fud and their links to blueray.com to prove points. Just a heads up. Mods - please take notice.

fyi, there are no mods at dvdtown.com. this place is a free-for-all.

"Paramount says Transformers sold 190,000 units its first week in stores, but Home Media Magazine market research and studio estimates puts the actual number of units that sold through to consumers closer to 115,000."

Paramount exaggerated the sales figures ... the 190k is most likely shipments as apposed to sales.

As a result, Spiderman outsells Transformers!
"The 130,000 sold does not include copies given away as part of a Sony promotion to provide the title to those who purchase a 40GB PS3. Sony expects demand to increase throughout the holiday season, with 'Spider-Man 3' to remain a top seller."

... and we all know Michael Bay wanted Blu-ray:

the 115,000 number doesn't take into account units sold via e-tailers, local chains, mom-and-pop stores, etc. at least paramount is talking about units sold, not units shipped the way that sony always does. not only is "units shipped" not the same as "units sold", it's actually worse if you just have a pile of crap sitting in stores gathering dust.

sony this time around said that the numbers are not units shipped but sold. believe what you want.

Posters is right though about that Home Media figure not including sales of certain stores. Apparently it didn't even include Walmart sales of Transformers. How convenient.
