For those of you wondering why I spend so much time talking about the next-gen consoles, it’s because a lot of our future media content will be dictated by who wins. Think I’m wrong? Here’s what a recent Slashdot post had to say on the matter:

“Reuters has a concise but interesting article up about how video games will help decide the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD. According to industry analysts “What Sony and Microsoft decide to announce publicly or to dealers at E3 next week will be key.” So this year’s E3 could very well be a deciding factor in how you view your movie library for years to come.”

So who do you think is going to win? And does it matter?
