HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray: stalemate
Forbes is reporting that Sony CEO Howard Stringer said at the 92nd Street Y cultural center in Manhattan that the current battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray is at a stalemate and that eventual victory of one format over the other is more about prestige than anything else
Stringer also stated that he hopes to sell 10 million PS3s by the end of this fiscal year in March. In comparison: Nintendo already sold 13.2 million Wii consoles
"We were trying to win on the merits, which we were doing for a while, until Paramount changed sides," Stringer said.
At the same time, he played down the importance of the battle, saying it was mostly a matter of prestige whose format wins out in the end.
"It doesn't mean as much as all that," Stringer said. He added that he believed there was an opportunity of uniting the two camps under one format before he became CEO, and he wishes he could travel back in time to make that happen.
