I love how they put Sony's CEO up there, and now blu-ray has won the format war...

Yes, but Blu-Ray sales are actually down, even since they won. They're getting beaten by upscaling DVD players and conventional DVDs.

The high player prices, high disc prices, and player incompatibilities have created a situation where most people simply don't see the value in Blu-Ray.

I think Ken Kutaragi even in hindsight deserved to be in the list. He's since left Sony and made many major missteps which are likely causes to the PS3 not being the dominant market leader.

But the same move that caused the PS3 to not win the console war caused Blu-Ray to win the format war. Which one was more important?

I love how one of the others on that list is some consultant for the hd-dvd promotion group. (then again, he apparently pushed for dvd adoption, which was a smart thing)
