why would a succesful company like Apple want a cash bleeder like Sony in thsi economic climate?

If you have cash surplus and want to grab established brand names, you look into it. Playstation is an established name in the videogame console business. And Sony has other brands that fit into that. In the battle to grab marketshare, you do things like that.
