Furthermore, with the advent of audio-only BD titles with dts-Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD hitting the market, there's again no need for supporting HD DVD. Lastly, there were never as many HD DVD titles on the market as there were SACD or DVD-A titles, so why would any manufacturer bother with HD DVD support?
