Another thing is that with the BSDs companies can do like Sony has done, fork and keep proprietary.
With Linux being GPL, shipping a product using it means the driver code pretty much has to be released (unless you go to the lengths that Nvidia has done to keep a shim between the kernel and their GPU code).

While I am sure that Sony has code that they keep proprietary, its worth noting that thy have contributed quite a bit back to FreeBSD (AVX support comes to mind) as well as LLVM.
