I would imagine the bulk of Blu-Ray owners will be PS3 users.
Chances are next to nil - serious HT owners won't put a PS3 into their system and current Blu-Ray titles truly inferior to HD-DVDs, despite BR still uses the old MPEG2...
With nearly 400,000 PS3's already sold and more going out every day as they catch up with demand, I would still say the bulk of Blu-Ray owners are PS3 users. As for serious HT owners, most consumers of video aren't "serious" hometheater addicts and with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD being available for rent (unlike DVHS) there is no reason why these formats would be used mainly by enthusiasts. It will be all about the price of the players which is coming down for both formats and the content available for each format.

 Nobody 'normal' is going to shell out 200 or more for a player until the war is over. And even then, they will be hesitant because of all the drm. "I can't watch this thing on my next gen ipod/apple notebook on by 12 hour filght why? My player has to connect to the internet for what reason? I cant backup my disc, huh?" The jump in quality from dvd to hdvd is cool, but its not cool enough to make the regular person jump up and say 'I need this'. dvd audio anyone?

 And no one normal would spend 600 bucks for a POS gaming system. I know of 3 people who got'em then took them back. TOO MUCH MONEY and using the excuse.. "but it plays blue rays".. just goes to show that we need to get all these people in one spot and call in a air strike..
