Microsoft’s HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 has sold over 100,000 units in North America, according to numbers from the NPD Group. It sold 42,000 units in November when it launched, and an additional 50,000 units in December. It surpassed the 100k mark early in January. In comparison, the Xbox 360 console sold 4,5 million units during the same period, meaning that only a tiny percentage of Xbox 360 owners were interested in a HD-DVD drive. Compared to the overall sales of the 360, less than 1% own the HD-DVD add-on.
Various tests are indicating that the Xbox 360 + HD-DVD do a better job than PlayStation 3′s Blu-ray player, but sales certainly show that Xbox 360 owners aren’t interested in the add-on, much the same way PS3 owners aren’t particularly interested in the Blu-ray playback capability.
