RIP Toastboy, you will always be remembered.

VGC has lost another enthusiast, a well-known user.

Every time when he posted something, the whole world stops and read it for a while.

You will always be in our heart.

You are the hero that Microsoft deserves, but not just the hero.

You are a silent guardian, watchful protector.

The Dark Knight!

If that were true there would be no market space for Ms now. Both are currently in the market, after all. 

Op: This would just cost ms money they wouldn't get back. It would be a terrible investment. 

We should all learn to be so humble. 

MS have billions. They can force a market for themselves even if it's just the UK and US. 

Because there are limited divisions of Sony that MS would actually want as assets.

There would be quite a few redundancies between what the purchase would yield from a Sony merger and from what MS already has.

Such a sale could potentially violate anti-trust law.

MS doesn't want to buy Sony's debt so that they can dissolve unprofitable divisions and keep the few that are currently valuable, namely their media/entertainment properties, their financial services and their video game division.

I suspect the real question is why MS doesn't buy Sony so they can dissolve the Playstation brand or mismanage it to the point where its only a paper asset to avoid antimonopoly laws.

"Seriously Why Doesn't Microsoft Just Buy Sony?"

Because MS is a very healthy company with alot of cash and Sony is absolutely not. While the PS4 shows healthy numbers worldwide it is still not making acceptible profits business-wise.

Why was this bumped, again?
