You do know you proved my point right? especially given the two factors
i listed :

1. FIVE major studios are NOT releasing titles in hddvd. Therefore, as
time passes (and as shown in the period from 2006 to today) the number
of blu-ray titles will become SIGNIFICANTLY larger than hd-dvd.

2. As time passes, the number of blu-ray players will become
overwhelmingly larger than hd-dvd, since: (a) More manufacturers are
producing blu-ray (Samsung, Philips, Panasonic, etc); (b) PS3 sales by
itself far outnumber any hddvd players. THEREFORE, given the larger
player base (and as shown in numbers of discs sold from 2006 to today,
where sales of hddvd was much larger than blu-ray in 2006, but where
blu-ray now surpasses it by almost 60:40), the sales for blu-ray will
become significantly larger than hd-dvd sales as time passes.
