When was this? They were going down from the get go. That's why they went to bribe Paramount $150 Million late last year to do HD DVD Exclusive. Looks like that $150M was just a waste of money since Paramount had an escape clause that they can ditch HD DVD if WB goes Blu-Ray.
Toshiba and Universal aren't giving up that easy. Paramount won't flip that easily either.
Also, hd is still a niche crowd with players and movies costing more than reg dvd's and upscaling players. Receivers are also high priced to get the hd sound benefit.
I could care less who wins, everything can be rented and copied

HD DVD? Blue Ray? it's all a mute point once online streaming of hi def 1080P takes off who will need dvd's.

Hmmm online streaming eh? How does that work if you don't have an online connection? My guess is that it doesn't.
If you didn't read the article it says Blu-ray is winning, so how is Sony losing on ALL tech fronts?
beta vs vhs doesnt even apply anymore and PS3 only loses to 360 in the US.
no price drops from CES but a def helper in getting more BR to people. The HTiB with a br player from Panasonic. Full 1080p/24 and hd audio support. no known price or full specs but alot people love the simplicity and I'm sure walmart will get it's variation.
