That's the way it looks.. at least according to CoolTechZone.

Again, this seems to be one persons interpretation of the DL formats... and not based on facts. Like many, they seem to be wowed by the slew of PR coming from the Blu-ray and HD DVD camps. Little do they realize, it will be years before either format replaces the DVD.
It also sounds like a lot of media companies were talking smack about Verbatim. In particular, the high prices they're charging for their DL media.

Dual-Layered (DL) DVD writers may be affordable, but the question of concern is the media prices. The price per DL media averages out to $10.00, which is shockingly high. We talked to manufacturers at this year’s CES about prices and what they thought about DL media in general. The replies we received were far from positive and disappointing. According to a few blank media providers, DL standard may not have a bright future ahead of it. The reason is the upcoming Blu-Ray and HD DVD standards that are supported by world’s top most corporations.
