This isn't going to "prove" anything, but it is merely evidence of a trend, that is in the blu-ray's favor. In fact, you really can't prove anything at this point, we'll just have to see how the whole thing plays out....but keep in mind, 3:1 sales, BD's favor Secondly, Microsoft is the Originator and manufacturer of the HD-DVD. Toshiba may make the players, but microsoft makes the $$$ when the HDDVD movies are sold. And, yes, $500 is greater than $300, but it is also a lot less than the current price of $800, so i'm expecting a big jump in BD sales when this new player does finally come out.

3:1 where? Link? And does that mean each blu-ray movie outsells each HD-DVD 3:1, or is that due to more releases, which means each films sells abot the same?
Toshiba and NEC developed HD-DVD, and the get most of the money. Microsoft didn't have a finger involved in its development, and they don't get a cent, unless they decide to release software on HD-DVD. I can't believe you got such a basic fact wrong. I bet you even twisted sales reports of blu-ray to read 3:1, when recent reports have actually been 2:1.
If HD-DVD players didn't get a huge leap from $400, and the $500 PS3 sold poorly, that prediction of the $500 player doing better doesn't hold much weight.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
