To do that they need to seriously hurt physical media.
VC-1 is also at the core of Silverlight - which is their attempt to attack Flash and Apollo from Adobe. If VC-1 is a failure in Hollywood (ie. all that content...) then other areas of their business are compromised/have a tougher road to walk as well...
