Simple as that, we are going to end up with two formats and thats the end of it, there is too much of a divide on each side with each being having very large backers pushing it.
If I had to pin a tail on this particular donkey, the winner will be the asians who start to throw out cheap dual format players. If either side wants to 'win', then leak decryption code, which ever can be decoded and copied will become an immediate favourite, but that isn't gonna happen. We're gonna be stuck with two formats and films appearing on one or the other depending the publisher, the market these days isn't like it was for the VHS/Betamax fight, the markets is incomparably larger and theres enough room for both, at the loss of the consumer sadly.
