04.04.2006Blu-ray, HD DVD topple VHS sales
High definition discs became
the second most popular video
medium in the first half of
2007, officially overtaking
legacy format VHS.
According to a
research piece from trade
publication Video Business,
sales of Blu-ray Discs and HD
DVDs combined in the first
half of 2007 beat VHS. During
the last six months of 2006,
the now-archaic format was
still edging out the high
definition newcomers.
By 2005, VHS's
market share in the home video
market had fallen to around
15%, and has continued to fall
ever since. Blu-ray and HD
DVD overtaking the dying
format was more or less
expected, but through the end
of 2006 the high-def
competitors were still
behind.
With the highly
contentious battle between
Blu-ray, fronted by Sony, and
HD DVD, backed mainly by
Toshiba and Universal, there
was mounting concern that wary
consumers would back off of
both until a winner was
