Toshiba competing against... themselves? - Feb 26, 2006 03:21
I don' t know if I' ve got this right but Toshiba was involved in the creation of the Cell chip, a very important part of the PS3 right?
And they are also developing HD-DVD roms right?
And the PS3 will have a Blu-Ray drive.
Doesn' t this mean that if the PS3 is successful, Toshibas chip will be very successful but their HD-DVDs will probably not be.
And the other way around, if the HD-DVD drives are successful, the PS3 might not be, and thus Toshibas chips will be less successful.
I know it' s not that simple, for one thing the Cell chips will be used in other products than the PS3 and that the success of the PS3 and HD-DVDs might not be related to each other. But it' s still a tricky situation that bugs me. Doesn' t this mean that Toshiba wants the PS3 to be succesful as much as they want it not to?
