Does Sony get royalties from each BD sold?

Many people on this site (actually I mean Sony fanboys) have gone on and on about how Blu Ray in PS3 was the right decision and that in the end the royalties would make the losses on the PS3 hardware worth it.

Of course Blu-ray was the right decision for Sony. Don't build a fanboy strawman argument if you don't see the reason for it. Sony controls two studios which have massive archives of movies, ready to go to Blu-ray discs. There is your money, not in the royalties. Sony knew that right from the start and now you do, too.

 

 So? Almost no one is going to rebuy DVD movies they already own on blu-ray. At best instead of buying a DVD they'll buy the blu-ray version instead. So unless your name is Sony, there isn't a lot on insentive to push blu-ray movies over DVD.

"I have it on VHS I'm certainly not going to buy these expensive new CDs they call DVD.." - Been there, done that....
