Is Blu Ray profitable for their "inventors"?

It's not profitable... yet. As far as I know.

They spent too much trying to blow away HD-DVD....and if you include PS3 losses in the mix... (They count PS3's in the mix for Blu-ray players.)

It'll really depend. The Public really wasn't snapping up Blu-ray like everyone projected... the economy problems in the US aren't helping.

In a couple years we'll see Blu-ray may end up replacing DVD, it may be a Niche product or it may just be the next Laserdisc.

It's all up in the air currently.

Also actually the patents to CDs and DVDs were CRAZY profitable.
