Whole Blu World: The Format War's Bloody Aftermath

Favorite quote:

On the studio side, the drawn-out conflict was sapping both HD disc and DVD sales, as consumers waited for a victor and slowed down DVD purchases in anticipation. Everybody was losing, even the winners. It got so bad that we have reason to believe Sony didn't just urge
Best Buy


,
Netflix


and
Wal-Mart


to go exclusively Blu, but went so far as to ask Toshiba directly to please pull out.

And since nobody does in that business anything just for the asking, Sony paid Toshiba to pull out...
That sounds plausible.
