Compete, a company that tracks visits to websites has found out that HD-DVD pages are more popular than Blu-ray pages on online DVD rental company Netflix. Still only 0.3% of the NetFlix visitors visited high definition (HD-DVD/Blu-ray) content.
And from these pages, the following numbers were generated:
- Those who looked at Blu-ray titles outnumber those looking at HD-DVD by a factor of 1.8 to 1.
- Those who set an HD format as their preferred format selected HD-DVD over Blu-ray by a factor of 2.4 to 1.
- Those who looked at the HD-DVD genre were 4.4 times more likely than Blu-ray browsers to actually set this as their preferred format.
- Over this time period, Blu-ray adoption rates have remained flat while HD-DVD has grown.
Of course it's unknown how reliable these numbers are, but the low number of people looking at high defenition discs and the HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray view are interesting at least.
