Hmmmm since HD-DVD is the true successor to DVD i don't really see why you think its HD-DVDs fault. I can see a Sony exec sitting in his office wondering how to get more money, looking at how huge DVD's have become and knowing that they should capitalize on the next big thing. Sony obviously has a clever marketing strategy by putting Blu-Ray in the PS3 giving them the obvious edge. But since you seem to have the clear voice of every consumer out there, then whey is roughly 40% of the high def crowd on the HD-DVD side? I think your assumption is extremely premature and you're obviously reverting to a 3 year old because we(HD-DVD) gained a bit of market share. I have no idea how things will turn out in the end or if this trend will continue, but at least I'm not blurting out assumptions and am just stating the facts.
Saying things like "HD-DVD is the true successor to DVD" makes you look like a fanboy. The DVD forum is as much of an authority as the Blu Ray forum is. And, since neither format has died yet, no one knows which one will be the true successor.
