Warner Bros backs exclusively to Blu-ray, HD DVD be doomed?

There are many websites that have mentioned about Warner will be producing only Blu-ray in 2008. This is a shocking news that I’d like to let our readers know.
Originally releasing their catalog in both formats to meet consumer demands for choice, Warner Brothers announced recently that all future HD releases in DVD will be exclusively in the Blu-ray format. The movie is a stunning blow in the protracted format wars which has stalled market saturation of the high definition format and kept prices higher as a result.
But in recent months, executives at Time Warner Home Video have seen a dramatic shift in consumer interest towards the Blu-ray format, prompting the Warner executives to decide the time has come to settle on one format before the window of opportunity for high-definition DVD is missed thanks to format confusion. The move means that by May 2008, when Warner ceases HD DVD title production, over seventy percent of movies titles will be exclusively in the Blu-ray format.
Now it leads to another question, will Playstation 3 bypass Xbox 360 to be the #1 game console since Xbox 360 supports HD DVD where PS3 supports Blu-ray?
