MS could also do with buying Google and other companies that are giving it trouble around its core business, and Apple would be handy too.
I mean, its not the analysis is flawed as such, its just that you could say that about any competitive company - hell, all Sony has to do is buy Nintendo and the job's done for this generation, right?
Or maybe Apple buys MS entertainment division and shuts down Zune, etc. and uses 360 to get into gaming...
What's missing, apart from a few too vague statements in my opinion, is any real reason for Sony to make such a sale, big losses or not at this stage in time, particularly given how crucial PS3 is right now for BR adoption.

M$ can not afford Google, Nintendo, Apple, or Sony. These companies, and many others, are the world's power houses and therefore would cost as much as a small country to purchase. None of them can afford one another.
As for Blu-ray it has made some large increases as of late. It has held about 7 - 8% of the US disc based movie market gaining between 7.5 - 9 million dollars in revenue each week. BR adoption doesnt seem to bad for how much it costs.

You have to be a joke poster.
The fact that you think those companies are "the world's power houses" would be funny if it wasn't so naive.
