Someone did the maths in another topic and it showed that bluray loyalties werent particularly significant in comparison to what they are loosing from the PS3, im not sure if their maths was correct but its the only actual figures I have seen as of yet concerning it. Also Sony is big, but not big enough to consistently eat a 2Bil loss from their game department. They need to dominate the generation to turn a profit as was shown by the PS2 which was barely profitable.
