IGN: Who can save the PS3?

[DirtyP2002]

So on the one hand sony cuts 8000 jobs and leaves some markets but on the other hand, they should buy a 3rd party developer? Doesn't make sense to me. I mean, they want to save 1.1 billion USD, how could they spent like 1 billion for Capcom or square or whatever.

If Sony starts to "buy" 3rd party developers, the empire (Microsoft) will strike back. And we all know how bad this will end for sony. You can't win a money-race against MS. Especially not when you are in the situation Sony is in right now.
