It looks like Toshiba is still keeping the door open for a compromise.

Yoshihide Fujii, president and CEO of Toshiba’s Digital Media Network Company, shed some light on the complicated situation. “We have no intention of giving up on creating a single format,” he says.

I don’t know if he says this to make Toshiba look good, or if he’s really serious. Toshiba doesn’t want to back down on their physical layer for HD-DVD, and Sony’s not backing down about theirs for Blu-ray. A single format, of course, would have to use one of the two, and thought doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now. Is Mr. Fujii saying that Toshiba is willing to back down? Otherwise he’s just trying to appear as the reasonable one.
