I don't remember if I'd thought of it with respect to BD but I've noticed that Sony never seems to be able to come out with a format that takes a major part of the market. Beta was the first one, then after that there was those cute little MD discs, then there was their proprietary flash memory format (memory stick?), and now BD. There may be other proprietary formats they've introduced that I've forgotten.
