Sony use Java specificially for web integration and browser like integration within the menu system, and it works.
As for bribes and throwing money, well it was actually the other way around. Toshi and MS threw cash like it was going out of fashion. Sony simply offered the tools to get the job done. Toshi promised early adaption of the market, and they barely made a scratch and were over 9 month late in release.
Theres alot more to it than money, believe me..
