Pioneer the world's first company to commercialize the production of DVD recorders. Has decided to stop development of the red laser, and jump abort with Sony to start making Blu-ray players and recorders.
Intead, Pioneer has plans to shift to Blu-ray format, promoted by Sony Corp and Matsu****a, by purchasing key microchips and software from Matsu****a.

According to Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Pioneer is recognising that red lasers are old hat and developing the technology will just cost it too much.
