| NJ5 said: So here are the numbers: Microsoft probably has enough cash-on-hand to make a cash-only purchase of SCE... If they did a cash+stock purchase, they wouldn't have to break a sweat to buy it. Of course, they'd have to get regulatory approval, which shouldn't be a huge problem right now as Nintendo is owning both of them. This is of course academic without the support of Sony's investors, which is probably one of the reasons why Sony is now very careful with their PS3 strategy. We don't need to assume something as dramatic as a Microsoft-buyout, their shareholders could simply force them to sell off some assets (some studios for example).

Its not that simple. Sony's asset value>>>>>>Nintendo.
Nintendo seems worth more currently because they're very profitable. Why do you think forbes ranks Sony way higher than nintendo?
