Why can Sony keep PSP's crappy UMD movies alive and Microsoft can't keep HD-DVD's alive?


Because HD-DVD was in competition with BluRay which had the same features and it is really stupid to support two formats doing the same thus fracturing customers and hindering adoption.

UMD on the other hand has an exclusive userbase: PSP owners. Not a big userbase UMD is no big media format after all. But still.
