Interview: Universal EVP Ken Graffeo says HD DVD is here to stay

[CAB]

I think we are seeing the wisdom of the BDA having a CE head the group. It's impossible to tell by any of Ken's comments whether he is speaking on behalf of the HD DVD PG or for Universal. These comments seem to me to be more tame with no new attacks on Blu which leads me to believe Toshiba is now the only member of the HD DVD PG putting up any money. Ken's strings are getting pulled by toshiba. There is no new offensive plan here. The toshiba strategy has to be a hope that BD hardware suddenly has some massive and unrepairable bug which renders all players useless. In the mean time, don't spend any more money thanwhat was already committed and create peace with the BDA.
