Most HD DVD backers were 360 fans, now Microsoft sees the light with digital distribution and many 360 fans went along with this.
Technically HD DVD was inferior, load times were aweful compared to Blu-Ray on the PS3, bitrates were lower, storage was smaller, scratch resistance wasn't mandatory, etc.
Commercially HD DVD was in a much weaker position, nearly all major electronics firms were behind Blu-Ray as well as the bulk of content providers. It was really a no win situation from the start. IMO only blind fanboys couldn't see this and kept hanging onto PR straws.
