XBOX360 fanboys:
The 360 people may one day become your allies **ironically** in defeating HD-DVD and the xbox360. Their HD-DVD add-on has poor playback quality and the movie selections are better on bluray.

If they develop for the dvd, then the hd-dvd group will get upset. If they develop for the hd-dvd, then the dvd group will get upset. If they develop for both formats to the dvd's capacity, then the hd-dvd group will get upset and wonder why they even bothered with the hd-dvd in the first place for gaming. If they develop for both formats to their maximum capacities, then the dvd group might feel upset for having to upgrade their xbox360 again. Otherwise, they'd have to settle for an inferior version of a game that their friends might be enjoying in hd-dvd. However, after the upgrade, these 360 owners might discover that there will be almost no hd-dvd games available because the developers will focus on the initially larger dvd fanbase, unless Microsoft intervenes.
