Engadget reports the stats from the most recent Nielsen ratings and it looks like game-over… game-over man… With a 85/15 split up from the last rating showing a 60/40 split or something like that, I think it’s safe to say HD-DVD is done as far as HD movie media is concerned.

dale, that’s true. I had some friends at CES that said HD-DVD is going to try and reposition itself as the media-of-choice for PCs… but I don’t see how that would happen as opposed to Blu-ray becoming the ubiquitous format.
I think the studios don’t like the cost of dual-printing movies and that is why I declared HD-DVD dead, they are all to happy to jump on a single bandwagon and focus on that, instead of two technologies.
Same goes for player-makers (except for Toshiba
)
