The HD-DVD farm should just quit! Everyone wants only 1 HDM and BD is clearly the dominant format, so why does the HD-DVD farm continue to fight this war? The HD-DVD farm is the one to blame for this silly waste of time for us consumers. Hence, it is obvious that the HD-DVD supporters are the biggest suckers to ever grace the history of video media...
BDA is the one fueling the war with BOGOs. HD DVD is the approved format of DVD forum, blu-ray is not. Planet Earth HD DVD was never part of any promotional deal like BOGO yet it does so well although it's been out very very long ago. BDA is truly the one forcefully fudging the numbers with the claimed 2.7M blu-ray players when I don't even use my PS3 for any movies.
Hmmmm since HD-DVD is the true successor to DVD i don't really see why you think its HD-DVDs fault. I can see a Sony exec sitting in his office wondering how to get more money, looking at how huge DVD's have become and knowing that they should capitalize on the next big thing. Sony obviously has a clever marketing strategy by putting Blu-Ray in the PS3 giving them the obvious edge. But since you seem to have the clear voice of every consumer out there, then whey is roughly 40% of the high def crowd on the HD-DVD side? I think your assumption is extremely premature and you're obviously reverting to a 3 year old because we(HD-DVD) gained a bit of market share. I have no idea how things will turn out in the end or if this trend will continue, but at least I'm not blurting out assumptions and am just stating the facts.

Consumers want cheap players. The 1st to $50 wins.
