It seems clear that we will see both of the formats at least for a while, as right now there is no clear winner. Perhaps due to higher manufacturing costs, coupled with the non-critical (for now) high storage capacities which Blu-ray offers, HD-DVD probably holds a slight advantage, especially for home recording.
