I have read many editorials on the format war, and some believe both will be there years from now, just as X-Box battles against PS3 and Nintendo. The difference between the DVD vs Divx battle in 1998-99, was that Warner Brothers would not release ANY of their movies in the Divx format, and as they were the leader in starting DVD, they eventually crushed any chances of Divx even taking off.

But now, Warner Brothers and several other studios are releasing their movies in both formats, which tells me this could go on for a long time. Look at the Matrix Trilogy, it was released on HD-DVD a couple of months ago, and will hit Blue-Ray later this year, or vice versa I think?

I honestly don't see either side giving up as this could go on for years, and the only thing it does is keep people like me from upgrading into the format as I would love to buy a BlueRay or HD-DVD Player if there were only one format that existed. But I am staying out until the war is over.
