Universal will at least go neutral by Q1 2008 (maybe before that, but I'm not holding my breath). They'll get a tremendous surge in High Definition sales from the Blu-ray supporters who have been waiting for them to do the inevitable. Once that happens, every movie studio will support Blu-ray (Weinstein is too little to be meaningful) and HD DVD will not see 2009, despite what Microsoft wants.So that will leave Blu-ray as the sole High Definition audio/video format and the war will be over. Personally, I think when Sony releases the PS3 in Europe the HD DVD house will begin its implosion. Combine that with the June release of Sony's $599 Blu-ray player and there's really no reason to keep HD DVD around.
The High Definition audio/video music releases will replace the DVD concerts and videos.
