Think about it Sony is worth billions and is one of the worlds largest monopolies, they aren't going to be sunk by the PS3 or PSP.

Sony is in no way, shape or form a monopoly. 

lol glad to see some sarcastic remarks.

When I researched Sony in highschool for a report on the worlds biggest monopolies I think I found like 100 subsidiary companies. Heck Sony had its hands in food manufacturing, chemical plants, power plants, toilet paper companies, toilet companies. Not to mention the dozen entertainment companies like 5 or 6 record companies like 5 movie publishers with a dozen studios under them. If you incuded every subsidiary it becomes what I'd claim is the biggest monopoly on earth.Infact when I was researching it Sony was working on a guidance chip for US missile systems. So they even make weapons.

Sony is by far the biggest monopoly I have ever heard of. Not even Microsoft or Disney hold a candle to Sony.

So if Sony couldn't kill Nintendo, who on earth could?

Joe, Sony is very much a broad spectrum company but most certainly they are not a monopoly.  Perhaps you have your terminology confused.  A monopoly is a company that operates in a given field without compeition.  They are also illegal (with few exceptions such as local electric power comapnies).

Sony may have a hand in dozens upon dozens of markets, products and services but they hold no monopoly over any of them.  You even mentioned one of the closest things to a monopoly we have in the US with Microsoft.  They own just over 90% of the operating system market.  Sony doesn't come close to owning 90% of any market.
