Sony Blu-ray sales increasing thanks to blockbuster movies

It looks like the sales of Sony Blu-ray discs are increasing and this is in part thanks to more blockbuster movies being released, but lets face it who would want to buy expensive old movies just because they are in Blu-ray. HMR Research has new data which shows 3 million Blu-rays have been sold in the first 11 weeks of 2008 compared to 9 million movies for all of 2007, this means we could be looking at 15 million Blu-ray movies sold in 2008.

Recent blockbusters like “No Country for Old Men” sold 68,000 Blu-ray copies in one week and “Juno” is coming to Blu-ray on April 15th and could be massive as well. With HD-DVD dead it looks like it’s all up from here.
