One reason to resolve the format war is to encourage "High end" companies to participate...

Posted by oscar on January 4, 2008 at 17:45:02:
The HIgh end companies are sitting on the sidelines waiting for convincing evidence that at least one of the formats will survive before they think about investing resources in developing a player. Warner's defection to Blu-ray is highly suggestive that Blu-ray will survive for the long-term and may trigger high end company investment in the format. I was talking to a dealer about this and he indicated he has been asked to help lobby a high end company manufacturer (at CES) to begin work on a Blu-ray player.
