Ken Graffeo, Universal executive VP of marketing and co-president of the North American HD DVD Promotional Group said “I think the fourth quarter is going to be interesting,” said Graffeo. “If you break out the hits, I think we will be even. But the aggressive discounting, with catalog [of buy one, get one free offers], can inflate the numbers.”
“This is a real testament to the momentum we are gaining with the set-top players,” said Graffeo. “We are beginning to realize the attach rate with movie sales.”
Of course, as with all comparisons between HD DVD and Blu-ray this will no doubt get equal spin from both sides until the only clear fact that remains is we still don't have a dominant HD disc format yet.
