Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

@Alephnull: Ok, you're obviously looking it from a context "half the price, four times the demand"? This has certain unrelevancies, because we are looking at products, that one is sold at a loss and another sold at profit.

@Kasz & Theprof: CBHD isn't that much of competing with BD, as it is China wanting to control the video format it's using.
If HD-DVD had won, we would still be seeing CBHD, because the winning format is automatically largely controlled by Hollywood (this was what the "format war" was about). BD doesn't offer a gateway for chinese production abroad, but it does offer a gateway for Hollywood production to China.

Since China is Stalinistic country, in other words governmental capitalism, it's going to be meddling with everything that happens in the domestic market.

How would we be seeing CBHD when the only reason it's around is HD-DVD technology?

The Chinese have no problems letting foreign products in as long as you follow their rules.

The issue with DVD and why they stated they were going after the format was that the format costed a lot of chinese manufactuers money.

To compete they had to undercut costs and ended up taking losses rather then gains... until DVD pricing hit cheaper levels.
