HD DVD Meets it’s End Today: Sony Blu-ray has won

As of today and I am sure way before today for some people, HD DVD has practically lost the battle to be the main high definition format, Sony Blu-ray has clearly won and it’s like HD DVD is a boxer floored to the mat and the counting is at 9…ready for YOUR OUT.

Hats of to the HD DVD Promotional Group, they are doing their best to put a spin on every set back, but they will need to face it sooner or lately that they are fighting a losing battle, day after day another brand moves to the Sony Blu-ray corner…its getting crowded over there.

Yesterday saw two more knocks to HD HVD, Netflix picks Blu-ray (just like Blockbuster did a long time ago) and Best Buy put Blu-ray to the front.

It’s just a sad fight now and we are all just waiting for an official statement from Toshiba admitting defeat. Woolworths went with a Blu-ray exclusive (the UK’s biggest retailer of next-gen DVD discs), the last 3 months in Japan Blu-Ray crushed HD DVD and sold 90% of standalone player sales (the Sony PS3 not included), rumored the Xbox 360 will support Blu-ray if the consumer wants it, Paramount may withdraw support for HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray this year as Warner Bros abandoned HD DVD for Blu-ray.

Everyone can see clearly the result.
