And just because some random guy says he thinks universal will switch doesn't mean they will. Yet its posted as a factual story by the resident bluray fan..... ben "bluray" drawbaugh.
Kinda funny though that there are 0 comments to the post made 4 hrs ago on engadget.com of all places. This is just another analyst talking and nobody really cares other than those that want to spin it one way or the other.
I am not trying to defend anyone, but Ben DOES say that it is only speculation. I agree that Universal is not likely to switch sides right now. However, the economic realities will dictate where they go. If they see a gold mine in Blu-Ray, they will most definitely take that path at some point. However, if their analysis shows that their revenue will be good with HD-DVD only, then they will stick with that. Of course, I am assigning common sense to a large corporation, which is never a given. :)
