Take Two has like a 13~ billion dollar market cap, Sony's is like $60 billion tops? Can Sony really afford to throw that kind of moolah around willy nilly in response to competitive pressure?

Microsoft has 130~ billion in it's war chest to spend on whatever it wants. And has a market cap of $700~ billion which could reach $1 trillion by 2021.

Microsoft could literally buy Sony, Take Two and EA.

 

Sony's assets alone is worth more than $150b, not a chance that they could buy Sony. They could buy up all the stocks for a ludicrous amount of money, but that wouldn't be buying it entirely.

Well not with there straight out cash. I am sure if they really wanted to they could easily make room for the Purchase by simply selling and trading.

They wont though because is buying Sony worth it? Will they make $150b back any time soon just to stop there competition? MS make money off Sony since they partner up with PCs etc. And it wouldnt help MS tackle there real competitor Apple by using all there cash on a company that isnt garenteed or stable to profit yearly.
