Toshiba and Sony have a pretty close relationship and relationships between Japanese companies are quite a bit different than those in the west.

How is Toshiba (Japanese) any different than Sharp, Pioneer, Matsushita (Panasonic), etc -- all of which are Japanese companies?! You are saying that a dissenter would get considerations when those who took up arms for the cause got nothing.

That's not a cultural difference: that's stupidity.

  as I said, they have a pretty close relationship and for Sony to reach out to Toshiba in someway to help heal the wounds makes perfect sense within Japanese culture.
Very true, it is Japan Inc. - Ole Lund Christensen 04:43:08 02/17/08 (0)
Toshiba makes the IC for PS3, because SONY sold the factory to Toshiba.

We in the West will probably never truly understand Japan. I have tried, because I some years ago distributed Japanese products.

Japan is a few densely populated islands with few energy resources. That shapes the minds of the Japanese. They fight internally and have to cooperate at the same time.
