With all the talk about Yahoo, imagine if MS was trying to buy Sony instead

-Microsoft could move Sony Computer Entertaiment under Microsoft Game Studios allowing them to control it.

-Sony could be phased out with anything worthwhile (people/technology) moved to Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division

-Microsoft could phase out the Playstation brand and finally have success in Japan (Xbox 3 would be a monster console with franchises such as Halo, Gran Turismo, Gears of War, Ratchet & Clank, Banjo Kazooie, Fable, God of War, Resistance, etc and likely have control of other key franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Final Fantasy, EA Sports, etc.)

-Microsoft could drop Blu-Ray, allowing for their investment in HD-DVD to pay dividends.

Fixed.

Well, thats what I would do.

Also, Sony is worth less than MS offered for Yahoo.

You would throw the more talented and experienced team and put the inexperienced and newly formed guys in charge?

And phasing out the Playstation brand wouldn't help MS as would help Nintendo become a monopoly.
