I think especially tech-savvy people recognize the benefits of the Blu-Ray format. They understand the benefits of Blu-Ray vs the RIP HD DVD technology. (scratch resistance, far more storage capacity, higher bitrate, etc) IMO mainly the more technology ignorant writers were hyping up the potential of HD DVD, the same people who after Toshiba/Microsoft's defeat are still posting critical articles regarding the Blu-Ray format.
The more tech-savvy people were rooting for Betamax, for example.
