Toshibas problem in the long run proved to be Toshiba. While basically starting a price war on players between three different Toshiba models, other brands wisely stayed away. And that hurt HD DVD's chances at winning this format war. If you for some reason don't like Toshiba's hardware -- then your are plain out of luck if you plan on investing in HD DVD.
Toshiba has done an impressive job at saturating the market with it's players -- but Toshiba alone don't make HD DVD a success. The glaring lack of hardware support for HD DVD give customers good reason for pause.
And so far this week I'm counting 3 studios dropping HD DVD support, and it's only Tuesday!
The studio support is growing more anemic by the day to match the hardware support. This trend should be pretty evident to most consumers.
