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

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=SNE+Balance+Sheet&annual

More than $160bn

If MS wanna go bankrupt, they should buy out Sony

Lol...Sony is not worth $160bn.

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Do what nintendo did, have two separate names for the console (family computer vs nintendo entertainment system). Have sega assume the name of the console in Japan so there is no microsoft stigma to it.

That's actually an interesting Idea. Is it really just the name?

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

Tell me a funny joke!

buying sony would be a bad move from microsoft. It's like going fishing and you cast your rod out and you get a bite and you feel the huge pull and weight of the fish and think "wow it must be massive!" then when you pull your fish into the boat you realize its half dead and covered in barnicles and other unwanted stuff. Just not worth it, the fish will slowly die on its own in the ocean

You're sig is gloating sale figures, and to be more specific, it's gloating microsofts sales figures, so anything or anyone who doesn't praise microsoft is stupid or uninformed?

Fanboyism at it's finest.

"to stupid", says the guy who can't even spell "too". Do you even know what we're talking about? I'd best stay out of this if I were you.
