Fans from both sides have the predicament of contradicting themselves when it comes to hd format wars + console wars. My god has this shit been beaten to death over and over. On one side Sony fans are saying why should Toshiba waste their time with hddvd, its a losing format, AND the PS3 isnt failing and its selling lots of software given its smaller user base. Yet on the other end why should Sony waste their time on ps3, its a losing console, and HDDVD is selling very well given its smaller user base. In hddvd's defense, given the 6 MILLION PS3's plus 400K(?) Blu-ray standalones vs 750K hddvd stand alones + xbox hddvd add-ons combined, doesnt a 66:34 ratio look pretty damn GOOD for hddvd? Do hddvd owners just buy more movies? One thing Ive wanted to hear peoples thoughts on, that was brought up in another forum, is why 2 hd formats couldnt survive side by side. "It works for consoles, shouldnt it work for movies?" I dont personally believe this would work myself, since movie studios dont have hardware sales they need to stand behind. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
