Excuse me, but I think you exagerate their HD DVD Business dramatically. It would be totally invisible in their share, because they were mainly connected with their codec which is also a codec for BluRay. Even the Xbox 360 doesn't play a dramatical role in their shre price. The big factor in their numbers is Vista and the ussual amount of overexageration and unlogical behaviour in the stock market.

An upset stomach of one of the dealers can have a bigger influence than the whole BluRay HD DVD thing.
