It might sound like sour grapes coming from him, but Toshiba CEO Atsutoshi Nishida has been talking trash about why losing out to Blu-ray was really no big deal after all.

Come to think of it, you don't even really need DVD players: "Without a next-generation DVD player, PCs become an even more important part of our strategy. We couldn't connect computers and televisions before, but now there is a technology that lets us do that...That means that you can use the DVD player in your computer to watch movies on your big-screen television, and you don't even need a stand-alone player."
Aside from the fact that he's right, my first instinct was to yell "Oh sure, now you say that!"
His declaration that Toshiba will not produce a Blu-ray player is mildly surprising, but would be in-line with an on-line strategy. It will be interesting to see if they keep their promise.
