SONY owns much more than 25% in blu-ray sales,don't just go on bullshiting.SONY bore the biggest loss on BLU-RAY and also sacfrificed their biggest brand name at that time to make it succesfull.also blu-ray just became successful because of PS3.

Sony's the 2nd largest license holder in the Blu-ray Group, right behind Matsushita (Panasonic) and right ahead of Philips.  And honestly, they're likely nowhere close to 25% each... 

they are

 

u think SONY bore all the losses for them?

Sony didn't bear ALL the losses, though they did essentially sacrifice their PlayStation business as trojan to kill HD-DVD.  That was Sony's miscalculation alone though (they thought PS3 would lift BD, not that BD would sink PS3), Panasonic, Philips, Hitachi, Samsung, LG and the other founding members of the BDA aren't going to hand Sony their royalties out of pity.  Sony has a big investment and significant holdings in the format, but they aren't even the biggest taker, and there's pretty much no way any one single company involved is getting as much as 25% of the pie alone.
