The only reason they have 30-40% of the HD market is because they're subsidizing they're players. The HD market isn't making them any money right now. They're using the loss-leader strategy normally used by game console manufacturers in the hopes of winning the war and making big bucks down the road from disc royalties. They're betting a hell of a lot on this war, and if it starts to look like there's no hope of wining, why keep upping the ante? |
OK. This is the most ridiculous statement I've read in a while. Sony has lost over a BILLION dollars "subsidizing" this format war through the PS3. Toshiba may be losing money, but they may not be. Sony is the one that is "betting a hell of a lot on this war". If blu-ray fails, Sony is in serious trouble.
