Blu-ray to win format wars?

Yea, I'm a little late. Anyone who has been following the news knows that Warner Bros. Entertainment has decided to side with Blu-ray.

The impasse was broken Friday by Warner Bros. Entertainment, the last major studio to put out movies in both formats. It announced it was ditching HD DVD, and from May on, would only publish on Blu-ray and traditional DVD.
The decision puts a strong majority of the major studios, five versus two, in the Blu-ray camp.

That will probably boost PS3 sales, as the prices for PS3's are becoming reasonable. As much Sony bashing as I've done recently, even I'm starting to consider a PS3. I think the combination of Blu-ray and Sony's hardware specs could see itself out-pacing the Xbox 360's graphics in a couple years. It's going to be a tough fight though, because graphics itself won't be able to take down the Halo and Xbox Live community in general.

There's still one more deciding factor in the format wars and that's the Adult Film Industry. It's been said that porn helped decide VHS has the winning format. So far, the adult film industry has chosen HD-DVD, but that's really not saying much since we're talking about a handful of films. Things might change though, since PS3 owners are apparently all porn addicts and Digital Playground has released their most popular title Pirates out on Blu-ray.

However, Joone now tells CePro that PlayStation 3 owners have been demanding that the studio release movies in the Blu-ray format. (PlayStation 3, owned by more than two million people in North America, has a Blu-ray player inside.)

I still don't like Sony's attempt after attempt to dominate formats, but I guess if you keep trying, eventually you'll win one.
