Sony will earn $2-3 for every Xbox One sold

This is pure gold

So M$ has finally decided to go to Blu-ray like Sony did. That's cute, and about 8 years too late. At least Sony will be getting a few bucks per sale. What say you?

I'm sure MS makes more than that for every Vaio sold.

The BD group consists of what? 15 or so companies. Sony will receive a percentage of that licensing fee. So lets say it is $3 a system. 15% of $3 is 45 cents. A lot of money on the millions of consoles that will sell but nowhere near what you were implying Sony would receive. cheesie253

Yeah.

It's doubtful Sony gets $3 when the group consists of so many companies. Probably a portion of $3.

Though factoring in game sales, I'm sure there are a few pennies per software sold in it for Sony as well.

Wasn't it the same with DVD?

The BD group consists of what? 15 or so companies. Sony will receive a percentage of that licensing fee. (Assuming $3 is the fee Sony would get about 20 cents on each system sold) A lot of money on the millions of consoles that will sell but nowhere near what you were implying Sony would receive. cheesie253

doing a google search it appears that the blu ray licensing fee was $9.50 per player in 2009. If its still the same Pachter might have already done the math and estimates Sony gets approx 25% of that fee.

There's around 50 companies so Sony get a few Cent at most.

Doesn't Vita have Skype also?That is owned by Microsoft.

Yup and things like their PC's also use stuff like windows, it's just idiots on those forums who think licensing means anything.

You are aware that there are several tiers of investment in Blu Ray, and even in the same tier there is unequal share ownership.

Sony, Panasonic and Philips are the 3 biggest contributors & share holders in Blu-Ray.

They get a disportionatly larger split of any licensing profit.

There's 18 major holders and 50 odd minor holders.

NOPE... Sony will only get a fraction of that $2-$3 from every Blu-Ray player sale... they have a multitude of other companies to share it with. Pachter is wrong. Surprise surprise.

That's cheap for sex.

And Sony has to pay MS for games, since, you know, THE X1 HAS SOME.

Major holders =/= Equal holders.

Sony, Panasonic and Philips are the key & majority players.

Sony gets money for each Xbox One sold, while Microsoft gets money for every new computer the Sony first-party developers buy and install Windows on. Nice trade off. ShaineTheNerd

Would you be pissed if I told you MS made money for every Android phone sold?magicalclick
