Lucas123 writes "While the news may fall under the "Duh" category, it's still relatively shocking how quickly the death nell for HD DVD player sales came on after Warner Bros announced they were dropping dual hi-def DVD format support in order to only back Blu-ray Disc. According to a Computerworld story, the week after Warner's announcement, sales of HD DVD players dropped to 1,758, down from 14,558 players the week before. In contrast, consumers bought 21,770 Blu-ray Disc players, up from 15,257 the previous week."
