Sadly, there is nothing they could do, nothing.


What if they buy Sony and cancel the PS4?


If MS wants to go bankrupt they could buy out Sony just to cancel PS4.


Buying Sony wouldn't make MS go bankrupt. They've got $70bn in cash and make $5bn in profit every quarter...

Anyway, your original statement it wrong because if MS did this they they would beat Sony in Japan.


Sony and its assets are worth more than 70bn


Source?

Microsoft could buy a majority shareholding in Sony for $6bn

More than $160bn

 

If MS wanna go bankrupt, they should buy out Sony


....I think you missed the $136,000,000 Billion in liabilities ;)

lol.

You also missed that not all of those "assets" are transferable so aren't valued as part of the company in the context of valuing the company's worth.

So yes, approx $5 Billion, give or take $5 Billion, about right.


Whats your point? If Sony were to be taken over, the liabilities disappear? What?


No.

What's YOUR point. You just said Sony was worth more than 160 Billion dollars. When valuing a company, you deduct the liabilities of the company from it's value.

When buying a company and making an offer, you offer what the company is valued at, it goes without saying that you still have to take on the debt/liability once you have taken over the company.

If that really needs saying then I will not converse with you further on the matter except to say that you learn that kind of thing in the first lesson in business studies.
