Quite true, given that x264 wipes the floor with many of the top commercial encoders (even enterprise-grade ones, let alone the cheaper ones). If DivX can even get close to x264, that also means its beating many others such as Scientific Atlanta and Mainconcept, companies with far more experience (and possibly more money, too) than DivX.
If it happens at all, it will likely take DivX quite a while to become competitive if only because they're starting so late.
Of course, I think they'd be better off giving up on such a futile endeavor, using x264 instead, and sticking what they've always done best--standardizing hardware devices to play videos.
