There wasn't room for both. Software sales for both account for less than 3% of media sales. That's 3% of movies. That's awful. DVD's exploded when The Matrix came out in 1999. BluRay's going to have to have a stellar year and a kick ass movie to drive sales of it's players to try and catch up.
I think its been 50-50 the entire time and any straw that dropped on either side would have caused this effect. Its clear that consumers were dying for it to end and probably care less about which way it went and more about the consolidation of the format.
It's funny I sort of attacked the story on Digital Battle, some other game site, and they took my one comment down. I guess the only way they get hits is if they make their feature stories rumors.
There could have been room for two if movie studios only picked one side, I forgot to add that. I think the biggest hit to HD though was Wal Mart. I hate saying it but Wal Mart accounts for a lot, even though I hate them to death.

Wal Mart decides on what prices to sell their items at and companies follow suit as they know Wal Mart has beyond huge purchasing and selling power, when they drop HD-DVD, everyone does.
(note: I have neither player) while toshiba hasn't announced plans to cease production, do we really need them to tell us that its dead? the chances of HD DVD coming back now is probably about 0%. The only way HD DVDs could come back in the market is if all the blu ray players in the world spontaneously blew up.
I own a PS3, hence making me buy Blu-ray movies so I am not sensitive. I am just sick of people jumping the shark with this, it's annoying.
Honestly this is awesome in ways. Maybe I can get an HD Player between $50 - $80 and then some cheap movies. I'd rather buy buy Batman Begins on HD for a discounted price of $10 than $20 - $24.99 whenever it comes out on Blu-ray. Same goes for Transformers and anything else.
