It'll probably take awhile though before you can buy a cheap player for $40 at the Superstore or WalMart like you can a regular DVD player.
Its taken DVD 8 or 9 years to get to the $40 price range. You will not see HDDVD or BR players drop to that price for a long long time. By that time, there will be something else out.

Also, only one will survive - not both. Why? Because todays society just wont accept having 2 formats. The average Joe dont care for it, and the market just wont allow it. Never in the past has two formats existed simultaneously (selling well that is!)
