Saying it worked out very well for them is hard to say, and presumes quite a bit of knowledge we don't have.

If Paramount had went the other way, the war may have (effectively) ended that day. If that had happened, who knows where Blu-Ray would be right now. Their total unit sales would probably be about the same, but if a bigger piece of the pie is from Blu-Ray that's more profits for you. Is there any doubt Transformers would have more Blu-Ray sales today than they have Blu-Ray + HD DVD sales all time, had they gone Blu-Ray on that fateful day?

Now it's entirely possible that they did profit off the deal, all I'm saying is that there are WAY too many variables to know that with certainty.
