First of all this is old news being regurgitated. Second, President is from SONY and VP is from NEC. Third, having a 55% staked vs 45% stake simply means more money was invested into the Joint Venture by SONY. Everything else is just wishful thinking and conjecture by f@nboys who don't know squat about these types of strategic business moves in times of fierce price competition. Fact is SONY NEEDS NEC's help, heck SONY outsources their DVD drives to LiteOn to try and keep prices down in order to compete with NEC's inhouse production.
Finally this has NOTHING to do with NEC dumping HD DVD like some people wish hope. They are not dumping HD DVD, what are you stupid or something?
