MS is also part of the Blu-ray association.

But everytime people buy an Xperia MS gets money (as with all Android phones).

Does that change what i said? ^^;


It didn't, it enriched your post and gave a little more context. People often seem to think "bluray=sony" and how much of a big win it is when it comes to consoles while it's not. Sony doesn't own bluray and limiting the view of "ha, MS gives Sony money, haha!" and now it's the "counter attack" of MS is just insanely stupid. Both get money from the other company in many ways.

Well looks like I'm cancelling my Uncharted 4 pre order, how am I supposed to have fun playing it, knowing ms made a few extra penies of my enjoyment :(


Just remember to thank MS everytime you load the game and I'm sure that all is forgiven



Since microsoft lost this generation of console war they need a so called small "Victory" through the back door. This news has also excited a lot of xbox fans because they have needed some good news for a while now and even though this news will change nothing, they will champion it like they won something. You just have to see serial stalkers such as Tim Dog and mooch (few on here) on twitter and you will get what I'm talking about.

They could, but nearly eveyrone uses MPEG-4 AVC now. Which is generally lisenced through Google.


Is there anything of proof in what you say? 50k Dollar, where does it come from? And why did you say "that is all"? What do they actually pay for? How do you know which codecs are used on blu-ray discs?


Don't take my word for it, verify it with Google. I really should pay attention to whom I respond to.

Intresting that games like uncharted and killzone uses Havok. So if you buy a ps4 exclusive, microsoft gets money.

That is not how Havok licensing works.
