Pioneer definitivamente abandona las TV, se centrará en el audio
Gizmología —

El abandono de todo este mercado se debe, como te podrás imaginar, por las malas cifras económicas que Pioneer espera para 2009 y 2010. Cortar por lo sano es para Pioneer la mejor solución.

Engadget HD —
... Pioneer's decision to axe the Kuro earlier this year set off a wave of gloomy predictions about the future of plasma, but we've never really bought into it -- and it sounds like the product planners at LG, Samsung, and Panasonic haven't either. HD Guru asked reps from each company for their thoughts on the state of the plasma market, and the responses were pretty similar across the board: plasma remains the connoisseur's choice overall, and it still makes up just about half of 50-inch and bigger sales. Of course, that means that plasma's niche is shrinking and moving higher-end ...
