Toshiba says that, in the on-going next-gen DVD format war, HD DVD has pulled ahead by a large margin. Next week, Blu-ray will declare themselves the winner
.all the while, consumers are still the losers.
HD DVD players began outselling Blu-ray models starting in mid-September and regained a year-to-date lead of a little over 50% through the rest of the month, said Jodi Sally, Toshiba VP of marketing of digital A/V products. Year to date, according to NPD figures she cited, HD DVD players command 53% of sales; Blu-ray players, 44%; dual format players, 3%.
