All that says is that sales in the US were not as expected. How do we know the same isn't happening to blu-ray? If they release figures of their stand alone players increasing, then you may have more ground, but until then, you are going by incomplete information. |
I really don't see how it is good in any way for Toshiba themselves to admit that sales have been significantly lower than expected and thereby adjusting their sales predictions from 1.8 million for the year to 1 million. Even if Blu-Ray player sales aren't as good as expected, HD-DVD is the one playing catch-up, not Blu-Ray. It is HD-DVD's war to stay alive at this point more than Blu-Ray's war to win.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
