Forums - Gaming - You wake up one morning and read that Microsoft bought Sony, what do you do?

If I was a stock holder for Microsoft I would immediately start selling. Sony is doing great regarding playstation, insurance and that is about it.They lose way too much money in the other sectors to be considered valuable. Maybe if they drop all the dead weight first.

Cry a little. Then become a full time member of the PC Master Race.



As it's mainly the same tech I wonder if they could they boost compatibility between systems? Effectively semi merging them by making it so all future xbox 1 games worked on the ps4.



I'd pinch myself in the arm cause I'd know I was still dreaming.



I'd wake up... again... in the real world.



Hunting Season is done...

Sony as a whole is making a net profit. And also, movies, music, their devices segment (including stuff like their camera sensors, which are used in both Samsung's phones and iPhones), home entertainment & sound, imaging products & solutions are all profitable, some of them more profitable than Playstation. Furthermore, Sony's smartphone business, while not profitable at the moment, is a whole lot more succesful than Microsoft's Windows Phone.



Have breakfast. World keeps spinning. Though if it was the case of MS buying Nintendo... I'd only hope that Nintendo won't follow the Rare path.



I'd pleasure myself thinking about the situation, including internet forums.



My first reaction: I move to Canada.

As a new, probably illegal immigrant there, I doubt I'd be able to afford much time to gaming because it'll be 'survival' in real time.



It'll be like when WWE bought WCW. 

 

I'd say rip Playstation and the industry.
