HD-DVD is in no way coming out next year. If it does, it will only be a few select releases, and will probably end up like laserdisc.
Why?
Well, the reason DVD ended up being so big is that it offered so much more over VHS than LD did. Higher quality movies, chapter skipping tons of extra features, etc.
The average consumer will see no reason to upgrade, and HD-DVD will exist only for a while as a film collector's item.
