Many (MANY) formats have been created and few survive to become accepted in the mass market ...
For years Laserdisc provided a much clearer (higher definition) image and had much better sound but people stuck with the inferior VHS format ...
Regardless of who wins this format war, they will still have an uphill battle to prove to people that they need this format
Comparing UMD to Blu ray doens't make a lick of sense. UMD's have not had the same support for one and second of all UMD'S were and still not meant to tackle "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" Have a umd player for your tv huh? A umd burner? Yea I see the adverts now..... its small! doesn't even mach the resolution of your SD TV and has 1/9th the space of DVD's
Logically speaking UMD's were stupid. Any one could tell you that before it even launched and anyone could tell you after it's launch that it would have died because of the prices. Blu ray isn't even a comparison. UMD is just as lame of a comparison as betamax is.

See your twisting things too.. Blu Ray sales top HD DVD 3:1 IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY Total Video sales the two are neck and neck.
And where am I saying that's a good thing..
It would be like if I ended this post with..." Please tell me why your a Sony Drone "
I really didn't think there was need for clarification after I typed
"In less than three months the year lead that HD-DVD had was erased and now blu ray outsells hd-dvd. "
I would have guessed that people knew that HD-DVD had the lead, hence a higher ratio. I am not concerned with spin and I haven't talked about meaningless comparisons just brought to you "facts" that would make any rational person admit that HD-DVD is at the disadvantage right now.
Me twisting your words would be akin to me saying...." Please tell me why your a Microsoft FUD delivering robot "
