Kind of, but Sony can do just as well by a digital download/stream era, as they own major movie/TV/music studios.
They are better off owning BR and getting royalties from it, than paying Toshiba royaties.
As posted here, there is likely to be a future physical standard,
with networks unlikely to make 4k downloads/streams a near term reaity esp. globally,
and Sony will be participating (and likely making said players backwards compatable with BR).
