It's all about the bottom line and protecting shareholder interests in long term.
Big companies are perfectly willing to risk early adopter fallout since they assume you all know the risks going in. They are looking at long term, mass sales to come.
It wasn't until final figures of last quarter that WB saw which way the tide was rolling and figured they were bucks ahead bailing now. Sitting on that fence was gonna cost too them much money down the road.
It's a bitch being a statitic on the wrong side of the column. Meanwhile you HD-DVD fans can enjoy the discs you have, while you can.
I'm not feeling smug for waiting either, BTW.
