That's what's going to happen anyway. Most people will be content to sit on their DVD-V players and movie collections until the follow-on to today's current HD debacle debuts. The adoption rate will never be enough to break either format out of niche status. Both BluRay and HD DVD are interim steps, and will end up being not much more than a footnote in consumer electronics history.
