Well, if you are developing a MMORPG, you may buy a copy of the competitors products to check them out, but you would probably try to avoid buying the whole development system or server setup from the company.
Interesting that you bring up Sony since they went with Java, rather than some Microsoft product, for its scripting in Star Wars Galaxies. You are also not likely to see C# nor Windows anywhere near its PlayStation consoles, and the main reason for that is that Microsoft chose to enter the gaming market too.

I don''t quite see how the software that one of Sony''s websites is running is related to whether or not they used Java in Star Wars Galaxies, or whether or not C# is going to be used in future PlayStation development.
You perhaps imagine that site is serving its pages from a PlayStation running Windows 2000?
