Poor Toshiba’s still not quite over the HD DVD defeat earlier this year, as evidenced by its president saying that they will “not market DVD players that are compatible with Blu-ray,” instead opting for upconverting DVD players to bide their time before Blu-ray becomes so prevalent that the company has no choice.
However, if you’re looking at this from a pure monetary view, the amount of DVDs installed and the fact that the Blu-ray library is really tiny compared to the DVD library, Toshiba’s decision might make them some decent cash. The end result is that consumers shouldn’t expect a Toshiba Blu-ray player for a little while. [TGDaily]
