HD DVD players have consistently been cheaper than the Blu-Ray players.

Yet...Blu-Ray still maintains a software sales advantage. If Sony needs to drop the price on their players, I expect they will to keep the disparity low enough to keep folks investing in Blu-Ray over HD DVD because of the advantages in studio (software) support.

HD DVD only advantage is hardware pricing; everything else is against them, including public perception. I don't see how HD DVD can "win" against Blu-Ray; if anything, all they can accomplish is dragging down Blu-ray with them when HD VOD and/or next generation video format shows up.
