I know next to nothing about this, so on you go.

Sony own MGM. So.. duh. Together they account for 19 percent of the DVD market.
Warner Bros., Universal and Paramount are all supporting HD-DVD. Those three studios alone account for 41 percent of all conventional DVDs sold.
It'll take more than Disney to sell Blu-Ray.

Not really. MGM and now Disney are supporting it; should have a nice divide between the two:

I disagree. You've got a format war coming up (like VHS and Betamax back in the day) between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. And so far Sony is looking rather lonely in being the only one supporting the latter.

Nintendo seem to be going more mainstream (which is a shame) so it is likely Revolution will be online, play movies, music and use a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray system.

I'd be guessing Ninty would go with their own thing again.

blu ray? that was supposed to be the next big thing wasnt it (i think it was in a T3 mag a year or two ago) did it never kick off or is it popular and ive been asleep for a while?
I'm guessing Nintendo will buck the trend again and go with their own format, but you never know.
Yeah I can see the Revolution being quite successful if it had Gamecube compatibility.
Plus due to Nintendo's hints at the prospect I'd say a big yes.
As for HD-DVD, I'm quite fond of the idea myself. I'd like to see the format excel, rather than see the other corporate monsters succeed with Blu-Ray....although Disney who have just announced that they will be supporting Sony et all with B-R doesn't help HD-DVD......

I think HD-DVD is cheaper and it is huge... but not as huge as blu-ray.
HD-DVD is much cheaper and Microsoft are expected to utilise it.
Nintendo may go their own way but HD-DVD is a nice idea and cheap and save Nintendo a lot of money.
But Blu-Ray is probably the future DVD format and will allow developers to port games from the PS3 to the Revolution very easily. Something Nintendo maybe eager to do to boost third party support.
But if Microsoft use HD-DVD that would be just as useful.
