| thismeintiel said: Sony didn't kill off HD-DVD. Consumers made the choice and HD-DVD lost. As far as the DVD market goes, Blu-ray does accomodate them. All the players are B/C, you know. And many movie studios are including Blu-ray and DVD versions in the same case, with little to no extra cost. This is like the Sega guys who despise them for "killing" the Dreamcast. If the Dreamcast was the best option, people would have bought into it more. However, consumer choice, as well as Sega's poor management decisions, are what killed the Dreamcast (and Sega's turn in the console biz). You can't go around blaming the competition for your prefered format/console's demise. |
A bit into that, I am not disagreeing but HD-DVD wanted to a treaty and Blu-ray said no... so in a sorts yes Blu-ray killed off HD-DVD.
