Well put; in reality, HD-DVD isn't totally dead yet, but for all intent and purpose, you're correct.

BTW, I suspect that those folks who felt like they were burned by the Warner decision will not be quick to embrace Blu-ray, especially if they bought HD-DVD players as gifts for friends and relatives.
It's almost like Warner cooperated in selling contraband goods off the back of a truck knowing that they had a limited usefulness, then after pocketing the customers money Warner's CEO laughs and calls them all suckers as the Warner truck pulls out. I wonder if anyone connected with the timing of this decision ever considered how betrayed some HD-DVD owners might feel, especially holiday buyers whose recent gifts have been instantly devalued and those on a tight budget for whom such a purchase is a major expenditure?
Food for thought.
