To quote more from the article I read -

===============

It may be more expensive to build but it does hold 2/3 more data
than HD-DVD (50GB) and in September 07 gained the exclusive
backing of the Home Theatre Specialists Of America, an influential
consortium of specialist retailers. HTSA released the results of a
survey showing that 92% of high-definition players sold in 2007
were Blu-ray

This year began badly for Toshiba, the chief backer of HD-DVD,
when Warner Bros announced they would no longer release movies
on HD-DVD

So what's Blu-ray like ? Fabulous. The picture and sound quality,
especially on a modern widescreen set, are remarkable, and the
new on-screen menu system makes the old DVD menus look
impossibly clunky

================

So HD-DVD is a gone-burger. With Blu-ray left as the standard,
it "will" become popular
