Reuters is reporting that Blu-ray movie title sales have passed the 1 million mark. The article states that Blu-ray disc enjoys 73 percent of the European market.
Perhaps even more interesting is the statement that movies plus games combined totals 21 million discs, meaning that game discs outnumber movie discs roughly 20:1. It would seem that having the PS3 use Blu-ray discs not only helps with the hardware install base, it also helps get the disc manufacturing volumes up and costs down by a considerable amount.
