Fans of the Blu-ray format are not going to like what Sonys CEO said yesterday. Howard Stringer called the format war a stalemate and said he wishes he could go back and strike a deal with HD DVD for a unified solution. It kinda takes the wind out of your sales when the CEO of your company says that winning the format war is just a matter of prestige.
"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.
