So how’s that whole format war coming? Nielsen VideoScan has released some information that finally lets us see how the whole BD (Blu-ray Disc) versus HD DVD thing is coming along.

In short, Blu-ray discs are now starting to sell better than HD DVD discs. In the first two weeks of January, BD discs outsold HD DVD discs by more than two to one. (Though those two weeks only saw two new HD releases - both on Blu-ray.)

On top of that, BD is catching up to HD DVD in total units sold. As a matter of fact, if current trends continue, that inflection point will occur within weeks.

This is all good news for Blu-ray Disc Association members. It’s probably helped by the fact that PS3 owners are actually participating in the whole Blu-ray thing, unlike what some people were predicting.
