What happened with The Departed is very interesting--the Blu-ray release kicked the HD DVD release's butt (even though the HD DVD release includes the awesome DVD side which you can play in your children's room!!).
I think that actually is a bad indicator for Blu-Ray. Considering how many more bluray players are out there, you would think comparison's between titles would have blu-ray in an enourmous lead. But its a pretty small difference when you think of how many more potential bluray buyers are out there.

And I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but since the departed was a combo, it was also more expensive than standard HD-DVD titles. Had this been an HD-DVD only title, then I bet the numbers would have been a little closer making bluray look that much worse.
