It's one of the reasons it's not that wide-spread and also why it's still expensive. See Nintendo, for example, they created an alternative technology for Wii U so they wouldn't have to pay royalties to Sony for every copy they sold. If I would guess, from the ways things seem to be going, the main media in the future will be stream/cloud-based, not physical.

I didn't know that Sony owned the copyrights for BR discs! It makes sense that Nintendo never used that media in their consoles (and I also didn't know the Wii U had a different media, I thought it used DVDs). I agree that in the future the main media is going to be anything but physical--sadly.
