For every article or quote I see that claims that Blu-Ray is winning,
there's another one that says HD-DVD is in the lead.

In the meantime, the total combined sales of both formats barely accounts
for 5% of what DVD has done this year. Even the early adopters are
staying away due to memories of VHS/Betamax.

And while the current setup certainly isn't very ideal or beneficial to
consumers, consumers can fight back simply by NOT buying into the hype for
either format.
