The recent shakeup in the Blu Ray-HD DVD format war has given HD DVD disc sales a nudge, if Amazon's sales figures are any indication.

eProductWars has updated their Blu Ray vs HD DVD page, and HD DVD currently holds the edge in overall sales rank, sales rank of top 25 products and number of titles in the overall DVD sales top 100. HD DVD also enjoys the number one spot in overall electronics sales on Amazon, as the entry level Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player hit that mark this week. The format war certainly picked up momentum last week, with HD DVD getting some much needed help from Paramount. CEDIA is next week, so it won't be long before we find out if either side has any more surprises for us.

The holiday shopping season will be heating up before too long and it will be interesting to see if the HD DVD supporting studios can turn the HD DVD boom in player sales into disc sales.
