Total sales penetration of both hardware and software is less than 5%, the current argument is whose sales are the most dismal HD or Blu-Ray. Currently there are no winners, period.

This industry can not and will not survive on 5% penetration. You may be as long winded as you wish in an attempt to squeeze just one more grain of wheat out of all that chaff, but until those sales numbers change, all bets are still on the table.

The epitaph may well read "Shortly before the formats death and withdrawal from the market Blu-Ray was declared the winner". I certainly remember all the articles about how superior BetaMax was as if that mattered, most of them were published after its' death.

Some of you made an early decision to support and adopt one format, now you seem determined to grasp any wisp of smoke to assure yourself that decision was the right one. I said I'll wait, and I am still waiting. I have a favorite, but have no problem in eventually changing to purchase the survivor if there is one, with one caveat. I still won't spend $30 or more just to buy the HiDef version of any of the junk that is supposed to pass today as a good movie.
