You really don't get it, let me help you: finally MS adopts BD and Sony, that's so eager to push it, shouldn't be happy?
Besides, Sony owned studios produce quite a large share of world BD movies production and Sony owns a consistent part of BD patents portfolio, so it receives a consistent part of forfeit royalties paid to BD consortium by discs and drives producers, increasing BD installed base by some million units, hence discs sales too, will provide Sony a lot of sales and royalties. Yes, MS will receive royalties too, although less than Sony and less than the share it would have received from HD-DVD, but as both Sony and MS will receive a lot of money, while of the two it will be Sony to receive a more favourable power balance in the movie market, Sony hasn't really anything to be displeased.
