The article isn't clear, but I'm kind of hoping it's YTD, or this is really, really, sad. Either way, it's absolutely pathetic. The <i>more popular</i> HD optical format has taken this long to sell fewer copies of all titles combined than Casino Royale has sold on DVD, in just the UK. One disc in one country, versus an entire format world-wide, and Blu-Ray manages to lose horribly. And HD-DVD is even worse. This isn't a format war. It's a format cripple fight.
