Does vinyl outsell the hi rez formats?


I know a while back that vinyl was outselling both hi rez formats and was wondering if its still true and were to find info?

UNOFFICIAL, i.e. private marketing sources give a slightly different picture for 2003. (Numbers are sales units, values are company NOT market, resellers' T-O)

sa-cd: +1,1 M units, $ 20,1M value
vinyl: +1,9 M units, $ 18,7M value

This of course includes units that have two sa-cds, or vinyls, etc.
The aftermarket for vinyl is estimated at 4x the "regular" volume but at 35% equivalent value. There was no estimation for the used sa-cd market...
Also, didn;t pick up the dvd-a figures.

Again, this is just unofficial, so probably not worth much.
