Blu-Ray is outselling HD-DVD by something like 6-1. It has about 75% of the marketshare. HD-DVD is not expected to last beyond 2008, and it will rapidly decline throughout the year if you haven't noticed the massive decline its already taken.

This is the sales data for the current week. Its pretty much characteristic of the last six months or so. By summer, I'm sure Blu-Ray will have something closer to 85%, with close to 100% by Christmas when HD-DVD makes its last hurrah (Wal Mart already has HD-DVD players in its clearance section).
