The key to this guy's prediction relies on someone making a "graceful exit and bowing out."

Now, does anyone here honestly expect that from the likes of Microsoft?

Of course not. I don't think we'll see an outright surrender.

What I do think we'll see is moves like Universal throwing BD some bones come next Christmas time and, in essence, ending the format war anyways.

It won't be anything dramatic and I certainly can't ever see MS gracefully bowing out of anything.

We wouldn't be here now if that were even remotely possible.
