The get royalties from the number of BD discs sold as well as having a small part of the drive fees.
Right now, it's about 30 cents per title. It might not sound like a whole lot, but MS sells over a million discs each week. So, if these numbers hold up Sony could get over 15 million in the course of a year from MS. I hope that the Wii HD would have Blu-ray as well, but that might be for the generation after next and i'll have to wait. Either way, Sony is going to get a major stream of revenue, revenue that it won't have to do much work for so the profit margin on this will be pretty big, that it didn't have before and it is getting this money from a competitor. So sony's gain is really MS's loss.
