The Blu-Ray adoption is not Sonys decision. Its the decision of the Blu-Ray Disc Association, made of 18 board members. Go read it on Wikipedia. In fact, Microsoft can pay to be on that board and thereby getting licensing fees of its own no?

 I have read articles stating the Sony is not willing to release the Blu-ray player manufacturing to Chinese companies just yet, because they know that once they do, the players will become very inexpensive, and Sony will have a hard time selling there's. 

So to some extent (unless all those articles were wrong), Sony has some control over who manufacturers players.
