Specifically my report from 2006 notes a lack of critical studio and manufacturer support for HDDVD. To create the bluray standard, many studios and manufactures worked together to create the format, where HD-DVD had a much smaller group of people onboard from the get-go.
Additionally, the sony support of BluRay in the PS3 at effectively no cost to the consumer meant that such a large population would have the required equipment on hand.
Blurway also had a higher density disc, which was critical to the longevity of the platform.
My report didnt actually cover licensing, so i am definitely mis-remembering on that.
