How about HD and Blu Ray DVD format war going on now?
The problem is the demand for DVDs themselves. Some analysts believe that while Blu-Ray may be winning the battle with HD DVD to be the next generation DVD format, neither will win the war, since future consumers will probably choose to download their movies and transport them on memory disk. "They know this is a dying business," said Berenberg Bank analyst Thomas Wissler

Probably more than 5, and then you have millions who still won't be able to get the speeds needed to download this kind of content. DVD's work in ANY location, and I see no lack of demand for them. The amount of HD and Blu Ray in the stores is still TINY compared to the amount of regular DVD's, and the prices for HD and BluRay is still a lot more than DVDs. Let's be honest here too, this is a technically oriented forum, the majority of people probably don't even know about Blu Ray or HD DVD, and are happy with standard DVD's. I'm waiting until the whole war is finished before I sink any money into this new medium, besides.
