Why would they need Sony gaming division? Cell has shown to be underachiving, sony studios arent really moving consoles with their games, they already share pretty much all the great exclusives....

Bluray is the only aspect which could seem interesting but even that would be counter-productive of their goal for digital distribution.

It eliminates competition. Why did you think M$ tried to acquire yahoo? It has nothing to do with cell's performance. They could just use sony's studios to make xbox games and maybe keep the playstation name to remain strong in JP.

I don't think sony will be selling by the way.

 

MS went after yahoo to compete with google in the search market. Yahoo was not MS's competition at all. But yes, it would eliminete competition for 360 I guess... but who of us consumers would want that?
