It's really just another VHS vs. Betamax story.
Unfortunately the lesser of those 2 won.. (Betamax was the better quality)
In regards to Blu-Ray/HD-DVD... the Blu-Ray Association was stating that there are more Blu-Ray players in consumers hands that HD-DVD. Why? Just because 1 million PS3's have been sold. Nice speculation there.
Blu-Ray is only winning because Sony is pushing it so hard. Both are equally good formats.
Personally I will not buy nor back either format until this stupid war is over.
And do we really need HD?! I see nothing wrong with the sound or quality of the existing DVD format.
It's funny how people argue and battle over the silliest things.
