You are very correct about that being dangerous. Supposedly porn makes up over half of DVDs sold so Sony not backing it would ruin them.
It would be amusing to see Sony pushing it: -
Sony "We've got the hardest porn on Blu-Ray, not like that softcore crap you get on HD-DVD." They could do PS3 exclusives.

Um.. Wal-Mart will actually sell both Blu-Ray, PS3 included(!), and HD-DVD players and movies. So the article is quite misleading.

Nobody ever said all BluRay would stop at Walmart nor is the title misleading. Since the article states it's backing HD-DVD (which it wouldn't if it didn't think it was going to win) it's going to make it more affordable and will push its sales in anyway possible. Basically Walmart will have a much larger selection of HD-DVD players and their movies and BluRay will just be shoved in some corner.
Try not to call a bluff that really isn't there.

Actually the article does led one to believe just that. And I'm not alone in my view.

Give me one quote that says they aren't selling BluRay players or the movies in that article or in any response in this thread to mislead readers.

...and that doesn't mean much to me. Sorry if reading comprehension is difficult.
