I think you have to take their executive's announcement at face value

He basically said what I've been saying: that there is a window of opportunity in which to make an optical HD format succeed and once the window closes, it's too late. The way forward is blocked by competing formats. Then there is the capacity issue, which allows Blu-ray to deliver more content to customers.

Sales are really neither here nor there. Yes, Blu-ray kicked HD DVD's butt, but the numbers were negligible compared to DVD. The issue is really how to make an HD optical format replace DVD before a downloadable HD technology comes along that confounds the chances of that.
