In Reply to: How do you know it wasn't the Toshiba CEO's fault ? nt posted by oscar on January 8, 2008 at 17:47:23:
with senior management at many Japanese companies including Sony and Toshiba.
I heard from both sides that it was the inflexibility of the past ceo that prevented a deal.
as I mentioned they have a pretty good relationship and Toshiba has a good hand in every ps3 that gets made.
a deal should have been made to work.
