I've been convinced for some time that this war will come down to who sells the most standalone players by the end of this year. I don't regard PS3 (or XBox) as meaningful, as those buyers are only incidental DVD consumers.

Up to now, that has meant that the battle was between the low-cost HD DVD players (likely under @50 by XMas), and Blu-ray scare tactics trying to get folks to avoid investing in "the losing format."

There's been great danger of Sony waking up in January 2008 with 4 million new standalone HD DVD players out there to less than 500,000 BDs. No amount of PS3s would make up for that.

Now, Blu-ray has an actual competing product, which they might actually be selling for under $500 by Xmas. Those $1000 (and up) players were never going to make the XMas stocking, but these just might.

I know this is going to sound odd to folks who think that BDs current sales lead means something, but this puts blu-ray back in the war.
