Can anyone put a number on how much Sony could stand to profit if Blu-ray ever reached the sales levels of DVD? Like a very rough estimation would suffice!

Zero

Dont they own a major share in Blu-ray?

Or am i mistaken?

Sony owns the intellectual property for the DISCS, but not the players.  As it is, Sony gets about ten cents per disc sold or in other words 100% of the royalties....haha I know it's hardly anything, but this is money that sony doesn't really have to work for, so a lot more of this revenue goes to profit as compared to the 5 or 6% margins that a lot of companies get these days.
