***I believe this hi-def-DVD-format war was created by Sony in its refusal to allow its licensing income to decrease, no matter how good for the industry (including Sony) it would have been.

Well... isn't that how free economy is supposed to work? Companies compete, put their products on the market, let the consumer decide?

Why should Sony, or anyone else for that matter, fold their tent simply because someone somewhere believes they should?

But still... I am sitting here wondering if this "war" is akin to Ferrari-Lamborghini feud... who really cares which one wins? Are there any practical implications to people, outside a small club of fans?

I somehow doubt the HD will become next generation medium.
