MS has already brought what they need so Apple jumping in would be alittle late. Also Apple and MS are basically equal when in comes to cash reserves. Also Apple would have no interests in Sony, they would only be interested in the PS division. Also managing studios worse? Thats your opinion. The results lately show otherwise. |
no,Apple acquiring SONY would nullify everything Microsoft has done.
Apple and Microsoft are not equal in cash,Apple paid out some dividends and had some Share Buybacks,that's why Apple's Cash is down.Apple can regain all that advantage by 1 years Profits easily.Apple's Market Cap is also higher than Microsoft.
Yes Apple would be more interested in PlayStation division of SONY but if any Sale happens,it will be SONY as a whole as PS division is the biggest contributor to SONY's profits.And Apple would gain Sony Pictures to bolster Apple TV+ and also Hardware & Camera Expertise.
Its not my opinion Microsoft is bad at managing studios.The results have shown exactly that so its more of a proven historical fact.
Halo once used to be the biggest FPS in gaming far ahead of Call of duty,Battlefield,etc but Microsoft Milked it to death during the X360 era and it struggles to even sell good now.
Gears was a big franchise during X360 era but they ran that too in the ground.
Fable was also used to be successful
they acquired so many studios in the last few years but till now Not a single game has come out that could Challenge the God of War's,the Ghost of Tsushima's, the Horizon's,the Last of Us's,the Spiderman's,etc
