While Sony is not yet leveraging its assets to their full potential,
they did learn from that when you look at the BlueRay vs HD-DVD mini
war. Sony did win with its BlueRay.

However, it does appear that royalties are still not so good because
Apple has (so far) refused to fit its computers with blueray
players/burners.
