Microsoft cant, even though they make more profit per year then Sony, Sony is still worth more then Microsoft in terms of assets.

What would assets have to do with anything?

Assets are irrelevent when buying a company.  What matters is market cap.

Sony's Market Cap is about 35 Billion.  You'd probably have to put at least a 10-25% premium on that to get the sale to go through.

 

Microsoft theoretically could buy Sony... but they'd have to make a bunch of very visible moves.

There is no such thing as a company aquring another company the size of Sony as a "Surprise".

 

 

 

Everytime I bring up how MS has lost 100 billion in market cap in the last 2 years people (xbots) tell me market cap isn't how you determine the value of a company. How ironic you use the market cap to now bash sony.

 

OT: The power of TEH CELL would mess with MS databases and send nukes at MS before they could respond.

There is actually a very informative video on the subject:
