I disagree. If all studios released on both formats, the cheaper format would win. The vast majority of consumers don't have the equipment to tell the difference, thus we'd all have the inferior quality of HD-DVD forced on us. It's only because of Blu-ray's superior studio support, and the PS3, that it's the dominant format.
And the playground fight is benefiting one party - Microsoft. They want to delay adoption of a new physical HD media so people will turn to Live downloads. That's the reason they propped up HD-DVD when Toshiba was just about ready to join Blu-ray. If not for Microsoft, there never would have been a format war.
