You know what? No one has won until the other one gives up, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
Don't forget that Universal and Sony who is blu-ray's biggest backer are competitors in the movie industry. Universal has no stake in blu-ray winning. So why would they want to support a competitors format when they can support a non-competitors format?
It's pretty simple really. Neither format is selling enough movies right now to make switching for financial reasons an issue. Not even close. So why would Universal switch now or anytime soon? They can always wait and see who wins. If blu-ray wins then they can switch then. Just my opinion, but what do I know anyway?
