Like the article says, it's not hard to make that prediction and the man on the street knows it too....

computerworld

The market seems to have spoken on HD DVD. In the week after Warner's defection to the Blu-ray camp, weekly HD DVD player sales according to NDP sank from a healthy 14,558 the week previous to a paltry 1,758. Blu-ray saw a reverse trend, climbing from 15,257 to 21,770. Blu-ray captured approximately 93 percent of the market that week.

As the article says, one week doesn't make a trend, but I think we all know the fat lady is signing at the HD-DVD opera. Hopefully competition from regular ol' DVD and internet downloads will keep the Blu Ray prices dropping even after this victory.

It's nice of that fat lady to sign for the benefit of the hearing impaired among us.

Gartner: Blu-ray to win in 2008, HD DVD price cuts are "useless resistance"


So the Borg-ray fans love making the obvious "resistance is futile" declarations

I say keep the HD price cuts coming!

*yawn*
Last year it was "Blu-ray to win in 2007". I guess one of these years they'll get it right...
