According to Video Business, over 90,000 Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD players were sold over the weekend by brick and mortar outlets such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Circuit City. The figures however, do not include online retailers, most notably Amazon, which means the sales figures could easily be over 100,000.
Sales of the newer HD-A3 model also appeared to be brisk, with many locations selling out after the A2 quickly depleted.
As a comparison, Blu-ray's top selling standalone (PS3 not included), the Sony's BDP-S300, has sold 100,000 units total since its introduction nearly 5 months ago.
