Toshiba can say whatever it wants to, because consumers are not going to be buying their products much longer. Between them and their decisive victory over Blu-ray in the DVD Forum standards battle, the end result is a consumer-losing condition that will leave bad feelings towards the leader of HD DVD.
I supported both formats, but I can only imagine those that chose to focus only on HD DVD.
Allow me to clear up some missconceptions about Toshiba OWNING the CELL plants. You see, Sony did indeed sell Toshiba manufacturing capabilities of the vaunted Cell, however it sold Toshiba the rights to the 90nm and 65nm plants NOT the newer more efficient and much cheaper 45nm plants.
So you see boys and girls Sony STILL has controll over the CELL.
Gods I love FUD that gets spread with no REAL thought as to what really happened.
Do you really think Sony would spend that much time and effort on a revolutionary CPU and just GIVE IT AWAY?
Uh, yeah, when they're reporting record losses and have as much debt as they do, I would expect them to sell whatever they could to prevent going under.

And that's just what they did.
