Well, 160,000 for the three is a very weak number, regardles off the * in Transformers' 190,000.
Again, I drool when I pass by Ratatouille and Cars on Blu-ray...and little bit with the three Pirates...

I couldn't find the Nielsen numbers John, but there was an article that did say that Nielsen does not include Wal-mart numbers in some of theire stats.

Tony,
Nielsen does not publish actual numbers, only a general breakdown in sales in terms of percentages. Only studios and related others see the actual numbers. Which is why you can't always trust articles that quote Nielsen "numbers." The numbers may or may not be accurate for either format. Usually, as one poster already pointed out, studios themselves publish their own numbers, which often include units shipped, not necessarily sold.
Also, Wal-Mart does not report its numbers to Nielsen as other retailers do. So one can only estimate their sales, which can be quite high, at least in the SD market where they account for a huge percentage of total discs sold.
