Blu-ray? Weren't Microsoft the ones that also claimed Blu-ray was inferior to HD-DVD? Wow, that sure would be a hard bitchslap for Toshiba now wouldn't it?

Bitchslap? What do you propose they do if HD-DVD loses, to throw themselves in a hole? Microsoft is not stupid, that's one of the reasons why HD-DVD is an accessory on the 360... If necessary, they can always release a Blu-ray reader for the 360, and most 360 buyers will be happy, especially since blu-ray readers will be a lot cheaper at that time.

 Now think about the converse situation, a loss for Blu-Ray... What can Sony do then?

 It's all business, not charity! Companies are together for as long as it benefits them.
