According to a recent market analytical survey by Cymfony, based on information obtained by conducting searching on the Web, 46% more of discussions centering around HD DVD are more positives than discussions of Blu-ray. Over twice as many authors were "impressed with HD DVD" than of Blu-ray. Few posts discuss the higher storage capacity of Blu-ray and advanced interactivity.

Again the discussions on the Web refer to Sony's past problems with Betamax and MiniDisc (UMD). In addition, gamers did not like the included Blu-ray in the PS3 which increased costs of the console, thereby providing no choice or power over the cost of the console.

The analysis is in PDF and can be downloaded from their site.

For one thing, my spell checker keeps wanting to change Blu-ray to Blue-ray.
