If neither reach adequate market saturation and lose momentum they could both easily end up like mini-disc. Just because one is doing better than the other doesn't mean it's garanteed success. And if the public catches wind of the even newer formats looming over the horizon less than ten years from now it will have a pretty deterimental affect on the eagerness of consumers to switch formats at this point in time. As for North America, who knows, I hear HD-DVD players are outselling Blu-Ray players and I see an equal number of the two video libraries represented at any store I go to so its anyone's bet at this point. |
Newer formats looming, they all are nearly meaningless. Not a single one has any industry support to affect the eagerness of consumers right now, or even in 5 years. Hollywood wont support some start up format just for the hell of it. You might want to look at the list of Blu-ray supporters, once the format war is over it really is preatty much a guaranteed success.
Its not who knows, no one will Support Hd-dvd if its dead in most markets and can only get %30 of USA. Fact is Blu-ray is outselling Hd-dvd just get over it.
