After a series of events that have been suggesting the end for HD-DVD, major announcements from Warner and Wal-Mart have most definitely laid the red carpet for Blu-Ray to lead us into the future.

In a shocker in January, Blu-Ray grabbed 93% market share over HD-DVD compared to 51% it had just a week ago. This is the result of announcements from Wal-Mart to officially discontinue HD-DVD sales from June and Warner announcing to go exclusively Blu-Ray. And Paramount too is looking to use an exit clause in its HD-DVD exclusivity agreement to switch over to the Blu-Ray camp.

And finally, The Ultimate Sign?: Toshiba which had nurtured and propagated HD-DVD has been gearing up to spell the end for its baby. If that is not enough there are even rumors that Toshiba is trying its hand at making Blu-Ray devices.
