Was it inevitable? Perhaps, then again perhaps not.
In an announcement at this year's CES (Consumer Electronic Show) 2008, it was announced that the defacto standard will be the higher capacity Blu-Ray format. HD-DVD will still be produced but only to satisfy current commitments. After that well it's Blu-Ray all the way.

On a personal note, all this means is that those folks other than Sony who mold DVD and the higher capacity formats will have to completely re-tool. No inexpensive endeavor as they set aside the HD-DVD format and proceed to Blu-Ray Production suites and production cells.
