While this might be a bold statement, all things point to this. Blu-Ray was already winning in market share slowly but surely, and today's Warner decision to go BD-only puts the final nails into this HD format war as Warner is the biggest movie distributor. The HD-DVD Group didn't seem to know about Warner's decision and they canceled their CES conference out of the blu tonight, amidst making vague references to possible legal action. My take: I wish Blu-Ray had a region-free policy like HD-DVD does. Living in USA today but one day moving to Europe, it will have an impact in my media library.

"Frankly I see it as a little unfair to add the PS3 sales into the count without knowing the number of people who made the purchase for the BD capabilities.
I'd suspect that the vast majority, if not a very sizeable chunk, are due to the games, not the format of the disc."
So! more players in the market... mean.... more opportunity for BR discs to be played! it does not matter that i may have purchased my PS3 to play games. when i see spider man 3 BR at target.... for $25.99.... next to the DVD.... i may just chose the BR disk. its simple!
BR is going to win this.... OR both platforms may survive. HD-DVD however will not get the whole bag!
