That's the problem with Sony right now is they lack focus. That's how they lost the multi-billion dollar mp3 market to Apple. Sony OWNED the portable music market with the Walkman brand. But they let is slip right through their hands because they were so busy pushing their music and mini-disc.
I think Sony's in the same position now as Nintendo was with N64. They believe they can do whatever they want and the market will accept it. It's that belief that makes me want Microsoft to knock them down a few pegs, however unlikely. PS3 would be so much better off without Bluray (cheaper, no production problems, much earlier launch). That said, they can more or less get away with it regardless, and if they do establish the leading next gen DVD format, it will be well worth it.
