Try and convince yourselves the few who took sides make a difference this early in the game but everyone sees the writing on the walls, neither is comming out as the clear victor and neither is selling terribly well in the big picture. It's down to supporting both as a niche market, that's all.

I really pity the early adopters of these two formats.

 Just like how DVD didn't sell better than VHS when it first came out, right?  Just like how electronic stores only carried one or two models of HDTV's, right?  Just like how DVD storage took quite awhile to uproot CD storage, right?  


Yeah, the first DVD players hit around 1996. Look how long it took them to start hitting mainstream, and that was when the every TV on the market would see the advantages of the new format.
