"The response would have come sooner, but many HD DVD executives were on flights home from CES when the story from Variety broke," Ken Graffeo said in a statement to the press. He is executive vice president of HD strategic marketing for Universal Studios Home Entertainment and co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group.
"Contrary to unsubstantiated rumors from unnamed sources, Universal's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format," he continued.
It is also believed that the HD DVD Promotional Group will follow with a similar statement, saying that they still have Universal, Paramount and DreamWorks behind them.
"Contrariamente a los rumores insustanciados de fuentes no nombradas, el plan actual de Universal es continuar dando soporte al formato HD DVD"
