It's clear to me that their entire business model hinges on the major market dominance of at least one format. Every product they put out there is nothing more than a trojan horse attempt to force you into one of their many formats. The PSP and the UMD format. . . the PS3 and Blu-Ray. . . digital cameras and the 1.5 million variations of memory sticks. . . freakin' ATRAC3. . . . At this point - I don't even care which format is truly "better". . . I just want the one that will allow the greatest flexibility. Not getting that from Sony, lately.
