“The war is over, and Blu-Ray won,” Netflix Vice President Steve Swasey Toshiba, in reaction to the recent decision to continue the production of HD-DVD hardware.

Netflix, the reader is not the nail in the coffin of format, but the decision on the list of support, shortly after Warner’s task is certainly not helped. The fact that the world’s largest online movie-rental even withdrew at the same time as BestBuy retailer Wal-Mart and at the end was poorer than format.

Prior to joining its own announcement on February 11 - one week before the Toshiba own resignation - Netflix, positions itself as a neutral institution, rather than buying on both sides of the war. Of course, we follow the acceptance of consumers.

“We were all agnostics, as we have seen, through the clarity of the announcement in January,” says Swasey. “Ninety-three percent of players sold in the next few weeks, Blu-Ray. It was quite clear.”

Before the start of great fortune, but Swasey finds that the location of Early Adopters was fairly evenly distributed between the two sides - although this figure was only a drop in the ocean against the approximately 7.5 million people who service .
