Thats Universal, who Sony jointly bought the parts of EMI with (Sony is publishing). Making money from music is difficult these days. The Olympus deal is a good long term strategy, but it is VERY long term. I dont see any quick returns here and thats the issue people are concerned with. |
I read discussion that Gaikai's patents were more valuable than the ones Onlive have, not sure exactly what though. This is by far the longest term potential gain.
Shouldn't revenue streams be bolstered immediately by buying EMI? I thought the EMI venture put Sony up top? Something like 1 in every 3 songs. Maybe it changed already but there is this article. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304830704577496851972013284.html
Olympus is long term, but very nice projected returns. That and it is the smallest of the purchases and the selling off of the chemical division covered that cost, though that isn't actually related.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
