What is more important is what type of movies does a person like?

I've outlined this before and that is for people to take some time and look through both formats and make a 'wish list' of what movies are exclusive to each format. When I looked at the full list for both formats, Bluray did have a slight edge in total titles, but it really wasn't as big as people say or think. More important though is that the movies that I personally like are more HD DVD titles. So for me it wouldn't matter if BD had three times the titles, if I personally don't like them, then volume means nothing to me when it comes to enjoying a movie.
Well, when it comes down to people having to look into the future to judge what movies they might want on a particular format, then we really see how dumb, frustrating, and ridiculous this format war really is. To me, as I look forward, I see more blockbuster and big titles coming on Blu-ray. These types of titles are what tend to sell well, especially on high def. Does HD DVD have the studio firepower to change the 2:1 Blu-ray trend?
