Microsoft Pulls Plug on HD DVD Players
By
In not-so-surprising news, Microsoft Corporation announced that it will stop making HD-DVD players for its Xbox 360 video game system after Toshiba Corporation yeilded the HD video format battle to Sony Corporation’s Blu-ray. Microsoft says this move should not affect their Xbox sales and has not comment on supporting Blu-ray in the future.
Microsoft said it does not see the decision having any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or its position in the market. It pledged to continue product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD players that it has already sold.
