Will Microsoft buy out sony?

[luck777jojo]

An article published today on Bona Fide Reviews suggests that Microsoft might be looking to buy out Sony.
Sony has been having more than its share of financial troubles lately and is in a position to be completely bought out by Microsoft right now.

Whether Microsoft intends to go through with this is unknown at the moment but expect your PS3s to be backwards compatible with PS1, PS2, Xbox and Xbox360.

Personally I don’t see this as a huge problem for the consumer, better graphics, more games, and all of them compatible. Then again I doubt that Microsoft will actually go through with this, after all they’ve had enough troubles with anti-trust suits in the past I don’t think they are looking for a repeat of those troubles anytime soon.

It is scary to think how huge Microsoft has become, they're the newest player in the console market and they have gone up from the bottom all the way to the top of the market and now have a change to completely buy out their biggest competitor all this in a very short time.

well if MS do buy Sony i doubt the Playstation will be continued after the PS3 which, as u said will be backward compatible with xbox.. Apart from that i dont really care, it will probably bring better consoles etc. in the long run.

sony would just refuse microsoft and let some1 else buy them, another japanese company probably

i read that article, they are still one of the worlds largest companies and their GDP is extremely high, i think they'll sort themselves out once the ps3 and blu-ray are released

I sure hope not.
Sony is one of the best companies. Maybe the one I like the most.

They should remain unique.

i don't like microsoft, i like windows and office etc but they are too rich for their own good and i hate the way they always smartass themselves above other people and companies, plus billgates should get frameless glasses :P

I do like MS.
Great company. Awesome products. Without them, the computers world would have died.
They make the best things for home use. And deserve every piece of $$ they have.

You all just justify this:


"Microsoft is popular. Popular is common. I'm special. I'm not common. Must boycott the man." The nutshell version is, "I don't like Microsoft".
