It doesnt matter what strength (if any) MS has in the hardware world, Toshiba are the ones marketing HD-DVD, not MS. MS is simply a supporter of the format.

When it comes to formats, Sony has the power because they are not a software company - Sony is hardware. MS doesnt do hardware, therefore they are new to that type of industry.
