And, even if all consoles together count close to DVD player counts, no
single console comes close to DVD player counts. In other words, no single
console format comes close to the single DVD format in market penetration.

For end users, though, if combo BluRay/HD-DVD players become the norm, it
really won't matter which format is better/wins/etc. This sort of combo
player is likely to happen, but a combo console will never happen, so I
think we're talking about some completely different circumstances.
