Do you guys think that Sony offered any type of incentive (ca$h) to WB for their switch like MS did. Or do you think it was based purely on the fact that BD sales are so much greater than HD-DVD's.

No that is the American way. For Sony it's about building a trusting partnership.


*rolls eyes*

Yeah, Sony never moneyhats anything.


You can keep rolling your eyes... MS and Toshiba are the ones paying studio's off. If Sony lets games like gta4 slip due to not paying; why would the movie side of Sony be different? I think Sony tries to create partnerships and in turn both parties benefits - I'll scratch your back you scratch mine... Where as Toshiba and MS have decided to buy exclusivity; we all know how MS does its work for games.

One thing Sony has done is help Square recover from their loses with FF SW movie. Bad Sony.


You pretty much have two choices here: you can admit to the completely rational and logical explanation that Sony DOES moneyhat on occassion, or you can try to explain why Microsoft manages to moneyhat and and make money at the same time, while Sony apparently isn't moneyhatting, but they're bleeding billions of dollars in the gaming division.

So Sony either is moneyhatting to maintain Blu Ray/Playstation marketshare, or they're grossly financially incompetent. Your choice.


ROFLMFAO!!!! Yeah, cause M$ is making a ton of money with the 360. There only saving grace has been HALO. They are still losing money on hardware, and have already lost billions in repair costs due to there crappy console. Sony however is still outselling the 360 with the PS2 while making money on every one sold, and are making money on the PSP as well. In the mean time M$ is paying hundreds of millions to obtain timed exclusives and temporary HD-DVD backers. Yup, they are brilliant for sure.
