^But why the HD DVD? Lower production volumes would mean that both the drive and the supports would eventually cost more than the Blu-Ray ones, for less available space and less compatibility.

It is a dead medium, as you are pointing out.

It's dead to movie studios, but can easily come back for a gaming medium. Even then, I will bet you cash that if there's a huge demand, HD-DVD would make a comeback. Folks are still buying HD-DVDs due to lower costs and the like.
