Evening all,
I think I recall seeing a tv program a while ago which talked about the PS3 vs 360 "profits" and how, despite making a huge loss on the consoles, Sony were better off overall due to Blu-Ray wining the HD format war.
My question is, why were Sony so desperate to win said war? I've done some research which suggests they didn't even own 30% of the Blu-Ray patent (as many other companies are in on the Blu-Ray spoils). Does anyone have any idea how Sony makes it's money from Blu-Rays? I have tried to look this stuff up but I'm failing miserably in getting anything vaguely concrete, which justifies the huge losses Sony made selling PS3's.
Am I remembering this program incorrectly or are my google skills failing me miserably tonight? Is anyone able to explain this or, even better, source anything which explains my questions?
TIA
