Without Sony spearheading Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray fails miserably. They put their movie studios behind it, they put their electronic division behind it, and their game division.

Oddly, the only reason people think Blu-Ray will succeed is the PS3, which may not necessarily be a sure thing. Oddly, the target audience for the PS3, is just a niche of the overall market that Blu-Ray needs to capture.

Also, I think Blu-Ray and HD DVD carry some 'gotchas' that the mass still do not understand. Blu-Ray for example does not have to support DVD or CD playback. That's going to be a problem down the line. HDCP is going to be a problem at some point. And pricing of media is going to be an issue for those used to buying DVDs at $6-$30
