I agree that it's certainly not garunteed a Sony format will fail, but it's not looking good. HD-DVD sold 60% of HD players last month according to another topic on VGchartz, so it's not only holding on but holding EVEN. A 2 man struggle between the 2 will only result in them hurting each other's sales until something much better comes along. HVD will probably be that replacement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc

Those sales did not include the PS3. Also, movie sales favor blu-ray in every multi-platform release except Planet Earth, perhaps.

No, they don't include PS3 sales, but they obviously aren't helping. "The group also announced that HD-DVD is achieving a 4 to 1 movie attach rate over Blu-ray, and set a new high for movie sales in May, highlighted by more than 75,000 units sold in the last week of the month." A 4 to 1 favor for HD-DVD, which is HUGE.
