HD-DVD was an idea that might have worked out better for consumers had it not been going against the BDA led by Sony, who were willing to throw bucketfuls of cash at studios and lose money on the hardware at the same time.

HD-DVD players, out of the box for the most part worked the way that they were designed to, Blu Ray players to date still are not at their final specs, the only Blu Ray players capable of meeting those specs is the Sony PS3.

Toshiba didn't do enough to make people understand and appreciate this and because of that they find themselves on the losing end of the war.
