"But in the end, sources say, the substantial loss Toshiba is incurring with each HD DVD player sold -- a figure sources say could be as high as several hundred dollars -- coupled with a series of high-profile retail defections has driven the company to at last concede defeat."
That's hard for me to believe. I could see they might be losing $10 on the player if it's discounted to $139, but I doubt it costs Toshiba much more than that to mass produce those things. Losing "hundreds of dollars" per sale? I doubt it.
