Because sony have such an awesome track record when it comes to new formats, even when they try to force it to market by using it in everything they make.

Betamax
Digital Audio Tape
Sony Dynamic Digital Sound
Multi-Media Compact Disc
MiniDisk
HiFD
Atrac
Memorystick
Super Audio CD
Universal media disc.

The list of sony formats that have failed is far far longer than the list of successful ones (and I'm sure I'm missing a few).

The ONLY reason blu-ray won the HD war was because sony decided they were fed up of losing battles so threw a huge amount of money at anyone they could to use blu-ray.
