Blu-ray outsells HD-DVD in Europe (Reuters)

I think this is a pretty cool battle being waged. It's reminiscent of the battles between VHS & BETA or Laser Disc & DVD. Eventually one will win and one will fall to the waistside. It already looks like Blu-Ray is getting the better of HD DVD. Blu-Ray was 73% of the High Def DVD's sold and HDDVD was only 27% this year in Europe. I was watching a special on I believe MSNBC earlier this year, and they were interviewing a President of a large adult movie producer. A lot of experts are saying that just like in the past, adult films will eventually decide the winner of this battle as the did with VHS & BETA and Laser Disc & DVD. Generally what ever format they predominately went to, is the format that generally won out. This is because the adult film industry is quitely a huge powerhouse in the home video arena, it's just very few people talk about how many adult videos they have. This war will be decided sooner than later, and the adult movie industry will be a huge factor.
