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?

 

 

 I won't want that but you have to admit that it will be good for M$ because with the path Nintendo has taken. M$ would have the whole ps360 crowd in its pockets and not even have to worry about buying/losing 3rd party exclusives because their games would be built for 360 only or wii only for the most part. They could increase xbox live to $100/year and not worry much because their customers would have no choice.

They tried to aquire yahoo to compete with google for advertising $$$ because they are trailing behind google big time.

 

MS just started doing search...ofcourse they are trailing google. Aquiring yahoo wuld have put them at 40% of the search market, then things would have gotten interesting so that was a well thought out purchase. But purchasing Sony is not...

What is Sony doing that they could use to cut in to Wii's marketshare? They would make it much easier for themselves to get the HD market but would still not compete with the Wii.
