You can read the article here.It's still a bit early to predict how the year will turn out, but it can't be denied that it's good news.
"A year-over-year comparison using Videoscan year-to-date numbers shows a 7.6% growth rate for 2005. Two likely sources for the growth include ADV, which had the #1 share slot in the week we saw and which has had several titles do well in Q1 (Chrono Crusade, Gantz, and DNAngel), and Disney, which is riding the success of its Miyazaki titles (see "Nausicaa Reaches #14 in DVD Sales"). Gantz is particularly interesting because of its format. ADV packaged it two episodes per disc at a $14.98 MSRP." |

The year-end numbers for 2005 will probably be a bit skewed as we'll likely have Howl's Moving Castle on R1 DVD by the autumn, and that alone will likely sell in the 750,000 to 1 million copy range (if not a little more), and add another half-million copies or so for Steamboy.
