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

[QUOTE="ShaineTheNerd"][QUOTE="GOGOGOGURT"]

Sony is ripping off so many with their games.  Playing games.  They are paying to play.

[QUOTE="ShaineTheNerd"] Yeah, like how they stole achievements and cross-game chat. MS and their greedy want of standard media in their console. ShaineTheNerd

It's pretty much a carbon copy. Look at the difference between a N64 controller and a DS and then the difference between the 360(lol) controller and the DS.

So they copied it because Blu-Ray is the top-of-the-line disc right now, and they want to use it.

So they copied no DRM to please the customers(lol).

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?

ShadowsDemon

But Sony doesn't own the license, it's owned by the Blue-Ray Disc Association. The company that manufactured the player would pay that.

Well actually, that is kinda true. I mean, earlier this gen, the DVD was more than adequate as far as consoles were concerned, despite having the "inferior" format, the 360 still managed to fit most of its games on a single disc, and is also known for "superior multiplats" compared to the PS3. In games, Blu-Ray yielded little to no advantage...

It's becoming a necessity these days, though, due to games getting larger in size...

[QUOTE="ShaineTheNerd"] Explain how they copied the Dualshock, please. They are not copying the Blu-Ray, and you are an ignorant stupid idioty idiot for saying so. Blu-Ray is the top-of-the-line disc right now, of course they want to use it. DRM wasn't copied. That was a very smart business decision to please the customer more. They saw the hate and fixed it in the eyes of normal people. Playerpat0

[QUOTE="cheesie253"]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. Ly_the_Fairy

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.

why does it matter that these people are in bed with each other in dozens of different ways?

Regardless of how much it is, the fact that they profit from X1's is hilarious.

Remember when Lems hated Blu-Ray?Murderstyle75

it is such a poor game format that it still requires installs and if it still requires installs games could come on cassette tapes for all the difference it makes.

i thought there was no way blu ray would be shytty 2 gens in a row but not even 7 years of tech advances can make it a good format for gaming.

installs were done because blu ray could not do the job it was created to do.

even now the games that do not require installs copy paste data all over the disc so that it can be accessed faster.

so the selling point was 50 gig discs but you have to use the extra data capacity just to make it work.

the whole thing was a farce.

i still love it for movies and all but blu ray for games was never anything but a bad joke.

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="Playerpat0"] Blu-Ray is the worst. I have two players and haven't bought a movie in years. Stream everything.Playerpat0

Remember when Lems hated Blu-Ray?Murderstyle75

Yes, I remember comments like these; "Bluray will be another failed format by Sony like Beta Max was", "Bluray isn't necessary", "Bluray is why Sony will fail. They have to charge too much, because they built it into their console". 

Looks like Bluray was necessary, didn't fail, & Sony is making money from it. 

I made topics about this very subject several times throughout the first several years of PS3. I got trashed like worse than ever by lems on here for it. I was the biggest idiot they said. Let's hear what you Lems have to say now. Shhhhhh! You're quiet now about it & you should be. 

YOU HAVE BEEN OWNED!!!:!:

[QUOTE="Playerpat0"] My rentals off my xbox in 1080p and 5.1 look and sound just as good... minus blurays with 7.1 mix and true hd audio. But I would much rather rent and stream than spend the $$$ to buy unless it is a film I must own.Playerpat0

they entered into a 900 million dollar chip production and blu ray diode deal with toshiba and a week later toshiba killed off the hd dvd format.

http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/sony-plans-to-sell-ps3-chip-production-facilities-to-toshiba/

sony has still never "won" a format war  this time they were just  smart enough to buy out the competition.

"The production facilities will include the lines that manufacture the PlayStation 3's Cell chip, and may or may not include the manufacturing of image sensors, depending on whether you believe Reuters or the AP's report."

toshiba got to manufacture the cell and make the money from it and sony got a rival to cease production on hd dvd.

Bingo!  We have a winner Bob.  Disc based movies and games will be gone in a matter of years.  There is not a single movie I will buy this year on disc streaming vs HD for movies is not even a choice for me.  Have my entire media library on any device any time i need it.

Going to some box or store to rent will never trump convienence in my home.  I can also hook up my tablet to any TV I choose or watch on a plane all the while that same movie can be played at home while I travel.  Physical media is dying fast, and Blu Ray was nice for its brief period.

So in theory, Sony is profiting more than Microsoft on early Xbox One sales...

Intresting....
