Um, actually-requested titles *not* selling on HD-DVD while putting more
sales in the Blu camp, thus:
A) leading analysts to think that Blu has "already won", not to mention
B) sending the message that the more powerful studio/corporate "cabals"
are behind Blu, giving the impression that HD is now the "struggling
little upstart" that will eventually lose the battle, and Bill Gates
trying to help it (which he hasn't really so far, except for the exact
same game-box thing) won't improve the "running behind" image any either?
....Also, any parents already thinking of jumping off for that home
theater purchase won't be doing it because of "Tomb Raider".
