I'll take a guess a why....

Unhappiness over two competing formats that couldn't get their act together and settle on one standard, which is what would have been best for consumers. If they can't come to agreement and do what is best for us, he doesn't want success for either. Does that about sum it up?

While I understand the arguement somewhat, I still want one, preferably HD-DVD, to come out on top. If they both fail we miss out on a better format. I'd like all CD's to be SACD as well, or some multichannel format, but that didn't work out so well either.
