@FOOD88:
Your argument is flawed in that neither HD-DVD nor Blu-ray really have any appeal to "common folk" and are both still firmly entrenched in "niche" territory. The average person probably has no idea that certain movies come out on one format and not the other, and further probably doesn't care because they don't have an HDTV anyway. The only factor that would appeal to this level of consumer right now is price, and that is where HD-DVD has its greatest advantage in terms of public appearance.
Also, you're missing the point of the ethernet port. It allows studios to implement internet-specific features into their releases, and can also provide access to new revenue streams through downloadable content and online stores. This adds to the potential for studios in the area most important to them: gross margin return on investment. If it becomes clear that they are certain to make more profit on HD-DVD, you can be sure that they will start to support it.
