The war is over! and Blu-ray won.

Toshiba has decided to cease the

production of HD-DVD players due to

the drop in sales.

since Time Warner has decided to use

Blu-ray instead of HD-DVD as well,

and their movies have changed to the

new format, sales have increased in Blu-

ray players, which led to a decrease of

sales in HD-DVD players.

Toshiba has withdrawn from the battle

over the new format, the company lost

hundreds of millions due to the stop in

manufacturing the players.

In the last couple of years Sony (Blu-ray)

and Toshiba (HD-dvd) has fought on the

place for the main stream format, it

seems that since Time Warner showed

it’s support to Blu-ray, the battle is over.

A couple of weeks ago Wall-mart has

decided to sell ONLY movies that are in

the format of Blu-ray.

Not so long ago Netflix, BlockBuster

and BestBuy have decided to cease HD

-DVD movie rental.

These decisions truly ended the hope

for Toshiba in gaining an increase of

sales.
