Forget Ovaltine, past that nasty Blu Ray Kool Aid,
I love the fact that Blu Ray manufacturing (which their are very few) are having a much higher failure rates, which result in a higher cost for the studios. You just got to love getting the "Blu Cost Shaft" when you are having your movies put on Blu Ray discs. HD DVD, nil or very little manufacturing problems.
Oh, when you count Blu Ray Players sold don't count PS3 (Sony does this). It's interesting that Sony has somehow realized that their PS3 is first a Blu Ray Player, and then it can play some crappy games on the side. Xbox 360 and Wii are kicking its butt. Heck, even the PS2 (which I own and love (because of Working Designs and Atlus) is beating the crap out of it.
Oh, I can't say now but in time you will feel a real slap in the face with something coming down in the not to distant future. Enjoy, that Blu Ray Kool Aid well you can.
(I'm in the entertainment industry, video gaming)!!
Cheers,

Skyhawk,
I'm sorry, I thought you needed the hardware to be able to play software? Oh, that's right you do. As you said yourself, it hasn't resulted in higher software sales SO FAR. The general public has barely begun to "invest" in the high def. DVD market yet. A little advertising from Toshiba combined with a reasonable entry price for a solid HD-DVD player could easily influence many to make the leap. I'm betting the price of the software itself will drop in the near future. Heck its already dropping. While some say this battle is over, I think its just begining.

Yes, and Blu-ray has been outselling HD DVD in hardware sales too. Conversely, it can be said that you need the software to play the hardware. At least people will be able to continue to use their cheap HD DVD players to upscale their standard DVDs when the HD DVD movie well dries up.
