How couldn't it be possible? Look at the two companies profit margins. Why Apple is so successful, is because of its profit margin. They are so successful because they aren't the biggest player in the market. Buying Sony would mean going down in margins and a big change in their size. |
Still Sony's total assets - total liabilities is greater than Apple's, so any way you look at it Apple can't do this unless it starts printing money.
