New York — Sony CEO Howard Stringer said during a public interview Thursday the high-definition disc format war between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD is at a stalemate, according to an Associated Press report.
“It's a difficult fight,” AP quoted Stringer as saying during the interview at the 92nd Street Y cultural center in Manhattan. “We were trying to win on the merits, which we were doing for a while, until Paramount changed sides.”
If history has taught us anything, it is that when an apparatchik from Sony makes a statement that is anything other than a glowing outlook full of candy canes, unicorns and rainbows, then the situation is really, really grim.
For Stringer to speak of anything other than certain victory bodes poorly for what Sony expects from their Christmas sales figures.
