I think it's just poorly phrased, Tretton mentions seven out of eight major studios backing blu-ray, but that doesn't add up unless he knows something about Universal and Dreamworks we don't. The editor adds a clarification that if you include a bunch of smaller studios, they have 7 out of 10, with Paramount, Dreamworks and Universal being the only red ones. So probably Tretton doesn't consider Paramount and Dreamworks as being major studios.

It's too bad even the Home beta's been pushed back yet again, that would've made a big difference in sales this holiday season for everybody to see what Sony was planning. I do hope by Q1 he means January.

Yeah, reading through that, I think that was what he meant... but, you never know! Especially with Dreamworks looking to split away from Paramount.
