Microsoft and Sony are destroying their (and each other's) gaming business

So they sacrificed their gaming dominance just for Blu-Ray... Now do you have any numbers of how much money they stand to make from Blu-Ray? Any data on how the profits are divided among the Blu-Ray association members?

I've been looking for that data for a long time, yet no one could ever show me anything even remotely indicative of that.

If you have that data, I'll be thankful and I'll admit you may be right about those claims. Otherwise, I'll keep being skeptical that that's the strategy as they planned it out.

 

Where are your numbers ? your first post does not have any all i see is your opinion backed by NO data or source.

And cut the crap that you searched for data for a long time, google is not that hard to use.

2006 US sales.

Music sales 11.5 billion
Movie 9.5 billion
Games 7 billion

(give or take the chart is not the most clear)

ww i read the movie sales are a 40 billion dollar market, thats why Warner went BR and killed hddvd. They hold the biggest pieace of the pie of that market and the saw the format war as a threat to it.

Next time don't act a such a fanboy and try to get it through your head BR is as big a part of the PS3 to Sony as gaming is, iam sure that will be hard for many to come to terms with.

 You seem to miss entirely what he is saying.

He asks for the total royalties that stood to be made off Blu-Ray and what share of those royalties will go to Sony. You gave him the total revenue of the entire movie industry, which is probably (your source is very unclear) theatre sales, dvd sales, HD sales and legal downloads.
