Sony have confirmed that the prospect of a truce with Toshiba is all but dead. Both companies are proceeding with their product roll-outs for next-generation optical storage.
Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi commented the chances of coming up with a unified disc standard to replace Blu-Ray and HD-DVD in the future is slim. "There's very little chance that the negotiations will go through," he said in a statement.
Yesterday we reported that Toshiba were no longer interested in talking with Sony about a unified format for next-generation optical storage.
"We won't talk from our side," Toshiba Corporate Senior Vice President Yoshihide Fujii said.
"The 0.1-millimeter format seems impossible now," Fujii said, referring to the Blu-Ray optical cover layer thickness.
