On February 12, we announced [1] that we are finally taking sides in the Blu-ray/HD DVD war. We announced that we would be endorsing Blu-ray.
Our endorsement turned out to be the final blow for Toshiba.
Yesterday Toshiba finally surrendered [2] and declared that they will be stopping all production of HD DVD devices.
While Toshiba has not publicly announced that our endorsment was a factor, the timing speaks for itself.
