It's a good point that HDDVD players are bought specifically for watching films whereas most Blu-ray players (with PS3's) are bought by gamers. It'll be interesting to see where actual movie sales (rather than the number of players on the market) go AFTER the christmas period as I think that'll in fact be a better indication of what people are buying.
Christmas will skew the figures but early 2008 I think the figures for actual numbers of movie discs being sold will be a more true indication.
