Sony is in big trouble right now.

You can't just go in and buy Japanese companies, though. Hostile takeovers are next to unheard-of, especially if it's a high profile company. As much as Shinzo Abe is trying to "liberalize" the corporate structure, Japan will protect its own.

So where does that leave Sony? Does it mean they get bailed out if they need it and Playstation will never die no matter how bad SOny does?

"Never" is too strong a word, those reforms will come one day or another, just that the math presented earlier in the thread (if Sony's valuation drops to 10 billion or less) doesn't just mean someone can walk along and drop a big chunk of change, because Japan will have government pensions (or something like it) buy the stock first.

obviously I hope Sony the best but I wouldn't mind seeing a true powerhouse like Samsung, Apple, Google or Amazon take on the PS brand. Sony is ruling the roost already but the possibilities with someone with such pockets are endless.
