Kris' comments seem pretty biased. To be clear, I work for one of the many companies backing Blu, but it seems hard to ignore the fact that almost every leading CE manufacturer including Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Pioneer, Sharp, LG, etc. is backing Blu Ray Disc with products already on the shelf and more to come. Conversely, when it comes to HD DVD, you're mainly talking about one manufacturer. More importantly, the movie releases are also clearly stacking towards Blu-ray based on the studio support (seven of the eight major studios backing Blu-ray, most of them only planning to release content on Blu-ray). It's no secret why Blu-ray has more backing: I think it's mainly due to Blu-ray Disc's capacity advantage (50 GB to start with potential for much more expansion as the format evolves down the road). As a new technology, it's simply easier to add more capacity -- more layers -- to Blu-ray Discs over time. This means the format should be around for many years to come.

Yes it undeniable that more CE companies support Blu-ray but they are starting to recognize that HD DVD isnt going anywhere. LG and now Samsung have realized this. Blu-ray will continue to sell more but HD DVD is still selling.
