I think people here are looking at the situation like its 2 enemies not willing to work with each other. Yall do know that Blu Ray movies are encoded with a MICROSOFT video encoding, right?
So funny thing people dont realize, Microsoft even makes money off of Blu Ray as well, off the licensing fee for using a Microsoft developed movie codec.
Everyone assumes automatically that Microsoft and Sony are arch enemies, but they are honestly not really competitors. The only thing they compete in really is the gaming industry. Thats it. Microsoft is primarily a software company, Sony primarily an consumer electronics company. Do you see Microsoft TVs out there? do you see Sony operating systems or Sony making their own "Microsoft Word"?
Not to mention, these businesses, the gaming divisions of these 2 companies, is small potatoes compared to the rest of the company. Wasnt like microsofts game division last quarter like 300 million, compared to 4.3 billion of the entire company?
