Not much ... I would suspect that licencing fees on Blu-Ray would be similar to those on DVD which would probably be (something like) $1 or $2 per disc and $10 per player/recorder; on top of this Sony doesn't fully own the format so these revinues would be split across all stakeholders in the format and Sony would probably end up with less than $0.50 per disc sold. Sony's lost revinues from the PS3 will not be recovered in their gained revinues from Blu-Ray. |
If this were true, then I doubt there would be such a format battle. Everyone would have agreed on a single next gen DVD format and things would be alot farther along by now. I would have to think there is alot more money at stake than you seem to think.
