Wouldn't your minds be blown if MS ends up buying Sony? Just like with Nintendo and Sega... the biggest of rivals... and then one in the same. Blew everyone's minds then, I could see the same happening here. Except not anytime soon since Sony is just bleeding value right now, so no reason to pay money for them now. Plus they'd have major restructuring to do. Sony could make more selling off their businesses individually. But yeah, whether you want to call it synergy or just terrible management, they will not be existing as a company a decade from now.

Sorry, what?

Microsoft does not have nearly enough money to buy Sony, they already overlap in the key market of gaming, Sony is bleeding money at the moment, and Nintendo did not buy and has no plans to buy Sega.

My mind would only be blown because it's about as likely as Apple buying Samsung.

Sony will need to restructure and sell off quite a few of its divisions, but I'm pretty sure it will still exist a decade from now, just as a smaller company (focusing on gaming, home electronics and phones).

Microsoft makes more profit per year than Sony is worth.
