Yes, but there is more.

IBM and HP have an important consulting division, the consulting division
of Sun is a joke. IBM and HP sell really fast and big hardware, Sun is
years behind. IBM earns money selling software (Websphere, DB2...), Sun
sells software, but didn't earn money. IBM and HP can sacrifice some of
their low markets to Linux if they gain others, but for Sun, low and
midrange hardware markets are the only markets.
