我猜想東芝內部已經告知NHK,東芝準備要放棄HD DVD,而NHK就是報導這個準備放棄的進行式
路透社引用NHK的報導也沒有誤解:Toshiba Corp is planning to give up on its HD DVD format
不知道為何有網友直接跳到完成式:東芝投降、東芝宣布放棄...

東芝現在出來是說他們尚未做決定,但是這遲早會宣佈,可能是善後工作還沒完成
"We have entered the final stage of planning to make our exit from the next generation DVD business," said the source, who asked not to be identified. He added that an official announcement could come as early as next week.
Crisis? What Crisis?
