Lack of console and PC hardware figures are " misleading and misrepresentative". Following on from last week's claims by the European HD-DVD Promotional Group that HD-DVD now has 74 per cent market share, the Blu-ray Association (BDA) has hit back at the lack of console-influenced figures.

It claims that the European HD-DVD Promotional Group's failure to include figures of both PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC drive sales is "misleading and misrepresentative" of market trends and distorts who the real market lead is.

The BDA however did conceed that HD-DVD "does have sales advantage for several reasons", although did not go into details.
