I think that there is something people miss on this site when it comes to the format war ...
Unlike Console wars format wars take years before anyone actually cares enough to choose either format. It took DVD 5 years before it made up 50% of the number of movie players purchased by consumers, 7 years before 50% of movies rented were DVD, and 9 years before there was more DVD players in homes than VCRs in homes. Even if you include every PS3 system as a Blu-Ray player, it will be many years before HD-Players account for 50% of movie players sold (probably sometime between 2010 and 2012) so it is way too early to state that one format has won or will win.
