Scott Fulton, BetaNews: During the Bill Gates keynote on Sunday, Microsoft's Robbie Bach referred to HD DVD this way:

Robbie Bach, President, Entertainment and Devices Division, Microsoft: [from Sunday night keynote] Our HD DVD player, [which] you can buy for Xbox 360 - Now, I want to point out, we've been making as many of these as we possibly can, and they continue to sell out. Demand for this product is incredibly high. Perhaps the bigger news than that, though, is that the HD DVD format has been the top-selling format this year, and that's a combination of the fact that it's had the most movies, it's been the most affordable, and it's had the most compelling interactive features with our technology that we've put into that product. So this really creates a great environment for people who want to use the disc space environment, to access and interact with high-definition movies.
