But its actually quite common that most big companies somehow pay for the products of the others be it a codec a standard a certain software or patent. MS gets money for Windows and probably a bunch of other stuff from Sony. In the end its good for Sony that MS uses Blurays. But thats obviously no reason that stops MS from using it since Sony pays MS a lot more. They use also Windows/MS Software internally and also sell it with their Vaios. So why would MS have a problem with paying Sony if Sony has no problem paying MS . |
Nah the problem is not MS paying to Sony,the problem is people think Sony will have big profit from MS,and what big profit means?they just think Sony(or let's say BDA) will raise the price to MS.
Sony is not the only company have BD patent(get royalties for licensed BD) btw,even it should be pretty big part.
