| BeElite said: How much did Sony benefit from BR winning. With out knowing that all you have just opinions. |
Sony is in the movies and music industry, so it's not just about its small share on BD royalties, but also about not depending on a standard owned also by a competitor in one of its biggest business divisions. Not to mention that MS owns the main implementation of interactive contents in HD-DVD, MS would have used it as a trojan horse to put a small Windows CE subsystem in almost every multimedia player, increasing its power a lot, and extending it to a new market. BD victory instead gave this power to Java, not a direct Sony victory, but hated by MS because it's an obstacle for its IT world domination plans.
