Re: Sony So let me see if I understand. Sony will lose millions to launch a product that nobody needs just to spite Iomega which is clearly dying of its own accord anyway (since they make no money on each unit and nobody buys the disks). Can we assume that Sony's margins on the drive will be no better than Iomega's and that the tie ratios on a 200Mb format will be at most half that of a 100Mb format? Then once these money-losing HiFD drives are "standard" the money will come from where? Help me understand this business model.
