That's a pretty big blow to Sony. HD-DVD players were the only thing the PS3 was outselling.

That's what it says, but it still hasn't come direct from Toshiba. This is a recap of a report on NHK (tv).

meh, the writing was on the wall after the WB betrayal-ton. why do we care how much money they're gonna lose on it?

Actually Toshiba has released an official statement saying this is not official and they're still considering what to do. How very unprofessional of Reuters.
