Also, because Microsoft control the world, HD-DVD will win over Blu-Ray as I imagine more movies will be made in HD-DVD

wrong...Blu-ray is king, and rc is living proof

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it may in fact be better, but the fact is that because Microsoft is such a big and powerful company with imputs at many other companies, I believe that HD-DVD will win.

every major electronics manufacturer is backing blu ray, as was microsoft until sony screwed them, and they had to switch...the majority of film studios is backing blu-ray...once ps3 releases some decent games then it'll be a total wash over...

I understand what you are sayng, and even see your arguments, and agree with it slightly. But it seems like the 360 is the more popular console, when it was released and even now. Plus, it had a year head start. Most stores I have gone to are sold out of Wii's but have more PS3s then anyone expected in the back of the store. A few weeks after the 360 was released you couldn't find a single one. It also dosnt help that it is a hella expesive console, twice the price of the core 360. Because of this, I think with Microsoft backing HD-DVD, it will become more mainstream than Blu-Ray. Or perhaps both will bomb because no one wants to spend that kind of money on a DVD player.

Right EVERY MAJOR Manufacturer :roll: . Oh yeah, and if you consider 51% of Film Studios, then I guess you are right.

Studios (movie and game) listed as supporting members

Blu-Ray
20th Century Fox
Buena Vista Home Entertainment
Electronic Arts
MGM Studios
Paramount Pictures
Sony Pictures Entertainment
The Walt Disney Company
Vivendi Universal Games
Warner Bros.

HD DVD
Buena Vista Home Entertainment
New Line Cinema
Paramount Pictures
The Walt Disney Company
Universal Studios
Warner Bros.

You can see the complete electronics list there too, and it doesn't look like HD-DVD is on its "death bed yet" as you stated:

I do not believe that the PS3 success will determine who will be the winner in this. If you think about it, how many propietary plateforms on gaming was there before? Did it really matter?

Yes the PS1 was CD, PS2 was DVD, but in the end did it really matter to the winner of those plateforms? Well, I guess the CD and DVD didn't have much competition either. (Well Super Disc & Multimedia CD combined to make DVD.)

The PS3's success will depend on its games. Not that because it is a Blu-Ray player. And I have no doubt the PS3 will be successful, but does that mean HD-DVD won't be around?

In the end, it will all come down to price. How much the disc cost, how much does the movie cost, and how much do the players cost? Right now it looks about even with the exception that HD-DVD players are a bit cheaper.

Except the number of 1080p HDTV's has doubled in thelast 3 months.

New HD entrants will want 1080p viewing pleasure.

Game over HD-DVD.
