HD DVD gain in market share after huge drop

The latest NPD numbers show HD DVD gaining back some of their lost market share in the week ending January 19th.

As we reported yesterday, Blu-ray owned week two with a 92.53% market share according to numbers from NPD.

The numbers from week three (ending January 19th) had HD DVD gaining some the lost ground back. HD DVD had 34.37% against 65.63% on the Blu-ray side.

Lastly, Stephen Baker, vice president of the NPD, has said that to base sales trends on weekly sales is very uncertain. So, please interpret the data accordingly.

Please note: NPD figures do not include sale from online giant Amazon.com and the data is based on standalone player sales excluding the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 HD DVD add-ons.
