Html multiple video tags

I want to include a video animation for my website using the tag in html5. I saw that http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/ also include a video animation on their website. My question is why would they include 3 video sources (video/mp4, video/ogg, video/webm)? I used video/mp4 for my website and it worked for almost all the major browsers. So what is the purpose of including 3 sources of video?

"Multiple source files can be specified using the element in order to provide video or audio encoded in different formats for different browsers... this allows the browser to make even more intelligent decisions"
