Mainly because Sony used true HDMI while Microsoft just threw it in like idiots.
And to my knowledge, not every game on the XBOX 360 is 1080p. As a matter of fact, I don't think most of them are.
And Blu-Ray for the XBOX 360? I've heard that rumor, but I don't there is much truth to it. It'd be very odd to see Sony allow Microsoft to use that technology on a competing console.

I agree that the PS3 looks pretty amazing when using HDMI. The problem is that there are only a handful of games that can realize the potential of 1080i/1080p picture quality, the others just look like polished up PS2 games.
As for Blu-ray you make an interesting point. I have heard that even the companies that make Blu-ray players now like Samsung and LG had to pay Sony a considerable amount of money for the rights to their technology. So If they are charging Samsung and LG for the rights then they will probably charge Microsoft even more, or possibly refuse to give them the rights all together.
