    To be fair, there was also the HD-DVD and BluRay war, so they could be talking about two separate wars. Probably not, but that’s how I choose to interpret it.

      For what it’s worth, that particular format war, the format backed by more porn studios (HD-DVD) actually lost to the one with less porn backing (Blu-ray). Personally I think that the PS3 tipped things over the edge.

        That’s too bad, porn companies generally have pretty good taste in tech. Also:

        Disney and Fox were both impressed by the extra DRM (BD+ and region coding) that the Blu-ray Disc format provided on paper.

        So it came down to DRM and the PS3.
