Retailers wont allow there to be more than one standard? Then why are there more than one console per generation? There are 9 different madden 08's cause there is no standard system, Wii, Xbox, Xbox360, PS3, PS2, Gamecube, PSP DS, GBA. And retailers carried all versions of it.
Like i said before 2 formats is by far the best situation for consumers. Multiple formats lead to increased competition thus better prices and promos.
I really don't want to start a whole blu ray vs hd dvd arguement but claiming blu ray is the better format with nothing to back up your statement is useless. Each have their pros and cons.

BD - Space in reality, not theory

BD - Bitrate limits for uncompressed audio and video simaltaneous transfer

BD - Studio support

BD - CE support

BD - Retail space

HD DVD - interactive menus for home cinema

HD DVD - Ethernet port standard on each player

 

Price has nothing to do with the products quality or content available on said product.....when discussing the merits of each format, BD blows HD DVD out of the water

Retail space??  Not recently, I've seen equal to more space for HD DVD at both Best Buy and Target over the last 2 weeks.

You also for the 2 biggest advantages for HD DVD that outwiegh all others for me.

HD DVD - no region coding!!!

HD DVD - no draconian BD+ DRM junk!
