initial launch for hd -dvd players was 100,000....blu-ray will kill that with in a month of ps3 release...toshiba is the only one relatively speaking making the players...it will not be able to keep up with Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Sony for developement, marketing or lower costs later on...Most of studios are behind blu-ray although a lot of them are releasing for both...bd is got too much backing for Sony to fuck it up this time

BD vs HD DVD
BD max bitrate: 54 Mbit/s
HD DVD max bitrate: 36.55 Mbit/s
And they use the same codecs...

Initial versions of Sony's Blu-ray Disc-authoring software only included support for MPEG-2 video, so the initial Blu-ray Discs were forced to use MPEG-2 rather than the newer codecs, VC-1 and H.264. An upgrade was subsequently released supporting the newer compression methods so the second wave of Blu-ray Disc titles were able to make use of this. The choice of codecs affects disc cost (due to related licensing/royalty payments) as well as program capacity. The two more advanced video codecs can typically achieve twice the video runtime of MPEG-2.
