PAL vs NTSC

According to our numbers, North America is perhaps the worst market for DVD sales because everyone is caught up in the Internet. On the other hand, many European nations and Japan still buy a decent number of DVDs. Domestically we'll still sell apx. 600 units per title. Internationally, we'll grab 2K to 5k sales.
Do you think PAL at 576 and NTSC at 480 plays a role in sales?

I have collected older DVDs in mainly NTSC and never thought about the perhaps higher quality of a PAL version. A lot of older adult videos were filmed with miniDV tapes that maxed out at 480. But if filmed at 576, DVD lovers may have missed out on some higher quality DVD versions of their favorite scenes! Maybe I should have looked for Euro versions of US studio DVDs!

I wonder how many older DVD titles had two different qualities available.
