In some other thread someone mentioned Google buying Sony

Does this hold any truth?

Hell MS can buy Sony if its only worth $12 billion.

You get your entertainment hub for Xbox with Sony music and movies and win the console war in one shot. Scrub the rest/sell them off piece by piece. A man can dream.


9.8bn

if you want to have 100% share ... 51% is enough so $5bn ... so ms could easily afford it, but I dont think that will happen.
wasnt $5bn what ms had in profits for the last quarter ?

Keep in mind... in a takeover you have to offer more then the current share price by quite a bit usually.   Not to mention Sony would likely insitute a "poison pill" option.


Not to mention that Japanese government would probably step in if Chinese or western company tried to buy Sony.


No they wouldn't.


Care to share reason? At least with Chinese takeover they really would because they don't want to their biggest rival in Asia to gain tech secrets.
