As I already said in the other thread, nothing has been decided yet - owning a niche market doesn't have any significance. I don't think MS and Broadcom developed the HD DVD playback reference design just to keep their employees busy. Cheap HD DVD players from China WILL come for sure, be it via Wal-Mart or other discounters.
Besides, it still isn't even clear whether HD media will be able to become mainstream at all (I assume they will, but not before 2009).
