I think based on DVD, VHS any home media format etc. It would be common knowledge that a company holding the patents and most fees for home media viewing stands to make a LOT more money than in an isolated videogame hardware market. Especially the PS3 as it was neevr meant to necessarily break barriers like the wii has. There sonly a certain amount of consumers in line for the PS3 whereas home media can connect to a multitude of people......sort of liek how the wii has connected to an untapped gaming community of all ages.
Businesses stand to make a lot more money on a larger pool of potential sales than an isolated one, so i think it owuld be common sense that controlling the hi def hom media market and computer storage of the future would be a gold mine for sony.
