But Ken Kutaragi, known as the father of the PlayStation, also suggested on Thursday there was a still window of opportunity for a unified format.
"The only hope is if we can reach an agreement in a week or two on a new format that is not that different from Blu-ray physically," Kutargai told reporters at a gathering of business executives when asked if there were still time to agree on a unified format and have that incorporated in the PlayStation 3.
