According to data gathered by GFK and released by the Centre National du Cinéma (CNC), revenues from sale of Blu-ray software in France from January to September 2009 were 64.42 million euros, which represents a growth of 127.3% over the same period in 2008. BD more than made up for the loss in DVD – overall revenue from physical video supports was up 1.6% year-on-year.
Market share for Blu-ray is now 7.5% of total packaged-media revenue. Units sold were 2.98 million, up 156.1% year-on-year.
