Sony's Universal Media Disc facing last rites + shocking comment

That sure doesn't sound like something a "high-ranking executive" would ever say. They're usually more careful when choosing their words, especially when talking to the press.

Personally, I feel that the fundamental problem isn't that people don't want to watch movies on their PSP, but that they tried to create a whole new format specifically for portable movies that can't even be played in a stand-alone player. If the PSP supported DVD playback I'm sure it would boost sales of DVDs for the industry, just as the PS2 does for DVD and PS3 will do for Blu-ray.
