Sony are the kings of corruption and bribery and currently hold a phenomenal slice of the market including control as opposed to Microsoft

I understand that they work with different dvd players, but what made blu-ray more desirable?

To the guy who answered and said that Sony is the big bad wolf compared to innocent wittle Microsoft, get a fucking reality check. They're BOTH big bad wolves.

Blu-ray "won" because it's the better form of media. It holds more and thus can do more. It has many more features than the HD-DVD.

I think it's important to point out that Blue-Ray hasn't exactly won yet. HD-DVD might have lost, but I still don't see the general public clamoring to run out and get blu-ray players at prices of 600 + dollars each. The struggle is definitely still on.

PS3 cause its already built in and there are more PS3's in consumers house then just regular blue-ray and HD-DVD players combined so if Xbox360 would have put HD-DVD drives in their system then HD-DVD would have won before PS3 had even hit store shelves

but xbox didnt do it cause they wanted to keep the xbox price as low as they could thats why PS3 dropped there price $100 cause nobody wanted to spend $600 on it and xbox was still outselling PS3 once the whole fanboys got their piece of crap after waiting in lines for days

so to simplify the answer even more........the reason why DVD's got there big push into the market was cause of the PS2 cause you didnt have to go out and spend acouple hundred dollars on a player since the PS2 had it built in cause every one i knew back when DVD's hit the scene was using PS2's to play them and not regular DVD players

so the reason why blue-ray is outselling hd-dvd (now) is the same reason why DVD's got there big push with PS2

oh yea if you didnt already know Sony owns and developed blu-ray and Toshiba owns and developed hd-dvd thats why the ps3 has blu-ray built in cause guess what if blu-ray was to fail then the ps3 would be rendered useless

fyi i hate PS3 if you havent noticed lol
