Blu-ray is not "technically" leading. It's overwhelmingly beating HD DVD is actual sales. Just one example:

When Disney debuted both Pirates of the Caribbean films on Blu-ray against Warner's dual Matrix box sets on HD DVD. According to Home Media: "The two “Pirates” films sold a combined total of nearly 47,000 units, while the higher-priced “Matrix” sets sold about 13,900 units." So more people purchased BOTH Pirates BDs than purchased any Matrix box set - even the cheaper one. Warner's recent The Departed provides another case in point. By their own admission, the studio sold 58,300 copies on Blu-ray and just 35,300 on HD DVD.

And
Wayne, I'm guessing that you meant HD in general in that last sentence and not HD DVD since the PS3 only plays Blu-ray discs and DVDs, but not the HD DVD format.
