I wonder what this means for the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Revolution...

I guess you don't understand the meaning of the title of the article. Blu-Ray won over HD-DVD with their disc structure and format, while they are using Toshiba's HD-DVD software, and encryption.

The dispute was originally over which disc structure was to be used, and Blu-Ray came out on top giving HD-DVD the software portion of the deal.
