I'm not saying that Univ swapping would make a BR studio swap(sorry for the confusion), I'm saying that there is so much confidence that Univ will swap, why is there not a worry that one of the BR studios will sell out to make more money.

I feel the longer the war goes on, the worse it is for blu ray. You are going to have guys who just want HD movies like me, buy a HDDVD player late in 07 if I am missing good new releases. The BR studios will notice this because I won't be the only one, and they will start to consider the $$$$. At the end of the day, everyone is in it to make money.

Now, if Univ goes nuetral in the next 6 mo's, that should be the end because it will deter the reason to own a HDDVD player. But if univ is still exclusive in 08, its bad.
