At first I thought there was no way Apple could afford them but I'm surprised at how low Sony's Market Cap is, I expected it to be higher

isn't their Market Cap more than that?

don't know where Arcturus found that number.

SONY are at their weakest in real terms financially since they began.

The CELL and BLURAY combo have taken their toll on the company spreadsheet. Ten years from now if Blu Ray takes out DVD it could be a real money spinner. Its just the strategy has left SONY massively exposed for takeover.

I guess Apple buying into the TV making business is a smart move. Imagine TV with Apple TV inbuilt.

Quick way into the living room.

I dont see the Japanese taking this lying down though.

More likely a merger to help save face.

I can just see Steve Jobs in the PSP Go meeting.

WTF is this sh*t!?!? GTFO, and never come back. You're all fired!

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
