IIRC back when DVD player first came out it cost the same or more than the PS2. Although the price difference wasn't as large then, manu. didn't go bankrupt. They managed to survive then, they'll do the same now. And even if manufacturing for the HD-DVD is cheaper, how the heck can a manu. be competitive with a 600 USD HD-DVD player which is what a premium 360+ supposedly 200 HD-DVD add-on would cost? Any sane person would still go with a xbox-360 + add-on, so not like going with HD-DVD will keep the manu from losing money. Another words following your assumption manufacturers are still screwed either way. Not much of incentive for manu. to side with HD-DVD right now, now is it?
