Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

The only thing you can find is that "sony doesn't even have 30% stake", which implies that it is very near 30%. 

Also, I would like to know exactly how much you think BDA requires to maintain operations. If they take, say 5 pennies from every movie sales, they made 150k last week. Average 100k a week and you're looking at 5.2M a year just on movie sales, not including blank discs, players, drives, writers, etc etc etc

Also, BDA makes about 2M$ a year just on membership fees, and the entire BDA is a consortium made up of member companies.

In my condo association, there is a yearly fee, and we all chip in to pay for extra renovations. It would seem logical that the member companies pay for a lot of the overhead already. So, I'd really like to know what kind of numbers we're talking about because, at this point that whole area of discussion is very cloudy to me.

I'm not implying anything. But if you make a such a specific claim, I expect that you should be able to back it up with a reference.

I don't know how much money the BDA eats up, but it seems like a pretty extensive organization with its own staff including staff, managers, legal and engineering across multiple continents.
