All the reports are coming in now that Toshiba?s chief negotiator in the “peace talks” between Sony and Toshiba is quoted as saying that unifying the two formats “would be extremely difficult at this stage.” No, really? I’m glad somebody in Toshiba realized it or at least is finally quoted as saying it.

Yoshihide Fujii, is also quoted as saying that “the Sony side failed to provide enough evidence that its format has a clear advantage over ours in terms of cost and range of applications.” And, “We (Toshiba) won’t give up the idea of forging a unified format.” Ok. Well, I guess we will just wait and see what will happen tomorrow with this on-going saga.
