Why did they win the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD battle? Genuine question - I don't know the answer to this.

I can talk about Sony's strides and blunders all day, but to focus on this era, Sony was triumphant with Bluray for 2 main reasons: 

1) Sony recognized that one of the main reasons Beta failed was because while they owned the technology, the studios owned all the content and thus had the leverage. Sony & the studios also couldn't agree on a licensing arrangement around Beta royalties, whereas VHS had none of the same baggage, so cheap and abundant won out over image quality. To rectify this, Sony purchased Columbia Tristar in 1989 and would use that acquisition to be less reliant on other studios to sell future tech (in this case, Blu-ray).

Second reason in the next cast 🧵

I hate their proprietary memory sticks so much, got a bunch of them 🤮

I hate their proprietary everything. One of their worst qualities IMO. Even though I understand it from a business perspective, I think it’s short sighted and has always bit them long term. Nobody likes being stuck with one option and charged a premium. Although 3rd party vendors eventually got in the mix and were able to beat them on price. Do you remember mad catz

Again, UMD was Sony doing what it's always done, release a proprietary format and try and force everyone to pay them for the privilege to use it. 
Great video about why it died here:
