He thinks it's $2-$3 per Blu-Ray drive

And as usual, this moron is completely wrong when it comes to numbers. It's not like you can actually look up the blu-ray royalty rates on the intenet. Oh no, wait......... (It's actually $1.25 for a pc with installed bd software, and XBox One is certainly registeres as such, and the consortium is about 15 companies, so Sony gets around 10c)

Royalty for BD playback drive is $7. Given that Sony's rumoured part of BDA is 20-30%, I can see how he came to that number.
