Simple: Blu-ray will win because of the PS3. People who want to splash out on a HD movie player will want to get one with a HD games console built in. Which would you pay for, $499.99 for a toshiba HD-DVD player, or $599.99 for a PS3??
However, in the console wars, PS3 will not win because of blu-ray, because as a console, it is overpriced, even if it is cheap as a BD player.
Have you price checked the HD-DVD player online recently. It is going for around $350. That is a heck of a lot better than the PS3.
I will not buy the PS3 because it will not work with a universal remote (lame) and I don't play console games. And although I would probably prefer the content of Blu-ray I will probably get a HD-dvd player first due to price. I am sure I will get one of each when prices come down, but HD-DVD's players seem within my grasp whereas Blu-ray does not.
