> So how did BluRay beat HDDVD and other standards?
BluRay won mostly nothing. But to the extent that it did win, it was mostly because it was cheaper, more reliable, and iterated faster than HDDVD.
When HDDVD disappeared people were still having problems producing the higher density disks. BluRay started as a low density format, and quickly evolved until it had more capacity than HDDVD had even even planned.
