Most people are saying Sony for the same reason that Sound & Vision picked Sony. While Warner Bros. might arguably have a better catalog of movies (and I would agree with that), they've been hit and miss with their Blu-Ray releases. Most of Sony's BD titles have very high bitrates, and have PCM and/or Loseless audio tracks. Warner Bros. for the most part released titles for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, and encoded the movies to maximum space that HD-DVD permitted, which means a lower video bitrate, and often only Dolby Digital tracks, rather than TrueHD or DTS HD Master. Batman Begins, which came out on HD-DVD about a year earlier than the Blu-Ray, had the same video encode for both, even though they had a year and an extra 10 or 20 gigs for the Blu-Ray.

And then there are titles like Speed Racer, which was a very recent Blu-Ray only release, and only had a Dolby Digital track.
