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.

 

 

And why do people think that Microsoft tried to aquire Nintendo before the release of the Xbox and the Gamecube?  They wanted Nintendo to stop making consoles and just make software for the Xbox.  Thankfully for the sake of gaming, that didn't happen.
