Is the HD-DVD format really doomed now?

This may be the definite death of the HD-DVD format. Financial Times is reporting that Paramount may switch over to Blu Ray thanks to a clause in their contract with HD-DVD that states that they will be able to make this move if and when Warner Bros. goes exclusively with Blu Ray, which is a done deal.

As it stands, Blu Ray has 70% of Hollywood's output, and if Paramount Studios makes the switch to Blu Ray, that would leave HD-DVD with Universal Studios solely. The question is, does Universal Studios have the same clause in their contract with the HD-DVD camp?
