well, i think HD DVD will win out.

because the drives and disks will be cheaper.

sony will also admit 'defeat' much sooner than you'd expect- why? blu ray is used in the PS3. if blu ray isn't popular, no ones has disks or burners. therefore, no one can pirate PS3 games.

if the betamax/VHS wars are any indication; HD DVD will win. VHS was the worse technology, like HD DVD, but it was cheaper.

HD DVD will have a better start on producing cheaper machines.

if sony were smart, the wouldn't make stand along blu ray players. they'd make combo blu-ray and HD DVD drive, and let HD-DVD drives be made.

DVDs would start in HD DVD; people would by combo drives when they want something better.

however; longer movies and more special features will prompt people to use Blu-ray, and the functionality is already partially there.
