Blu-Ray hasn't won yet, but IMO the Blu-Ray vs HD DVD is a very different battle, Codecs are identical, more high profile movies are known to hit Blu-Ray due to various Sony movie studios, Fox and Disney, every PS3 owner has the option to watch Blu-Ray movies. Blu-Ray has a market share of 98% of the high def market in Japan.

 Sorry, but Japan is not the World Standard. LD was quite big in Japan, a very small market in the US and nearly non existent in Europe. Atleast in Europe these changes will affect the customers.as long as there is not one standard HD discs won't be able to get a significant share of the mass market.

 Considering the games:I think the market will be much more cost driven, than performance driven, compared to the PS-2. This would mean that the cross plattform capabilities play a much bigger role and this would not play in favor for the PS-3.
