TOKYO: Sony's Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer said movie studios are starting to favour its Blu-ray DVD, which can store high-definition films and other media.
Sony, the world's second-largest consumer electronics maker, is promoting Blu-ray DVD to gain acceptance from film makers and consumers as the standard for offering sharper, more lifelike visuals in video players, games and personal computers.
About 100 films will be available on Blu-ray this calendar year, said Sony spokesman Daichi Yamafuji. The HD DVD disc can hold 15 gigabytes of data, compared with 25 gigabytes for Blu-ray and 4.7 gigabytes for a conventional DVD.
Sony, world's best selling PlayStation 2 game console, expects the inclusion of Blu-ray DVD capability in the PlayStation 3 to help popularize the format and drive demand for its games and films.
