Hope for Nintendo to rethink their censorship policy or JRPG would be dead in the west.

Also hug my PS consoles very tight and tell them everything will be ok.

I'd proceed to check directly into the Smackdown hotel.

I'd regret taking the blue pill.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Well,i would go and buy a Xbox,because then it will finally get some games that interrest me.

Nothing would change for me. But in this hypothetical situation, I would hope MS would keep the PS name because it's a way stronger brand than Xbox is.

Lol. what kind of answer do you expect? Someone going into a school killing spree? XP
Id say, most of us would be surprised, then, accept the truth, and go on with our lives. But if M$ buys SONY or the other way around, it would mean one less Console to buy :D

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.

 

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.

This is snoopy you don't even have to try.

It'll be like when WWE bought WCW. 

 

I'd say rip Playstation and the industry. 

Good analogy. And it will happen to MS the thing that happened to WWE afterwards. They'll have no prominent competition, they'll try to release the PlayStation name as a separate entity to do some competition and fail, there will be monthly releases of the same game and people will hate it, there will be a couple of franchises the people will fall in love with... and then they'll go all digital and offer their games on a streaming service for $9.99 a month.

I'd be happy. All i would need is 2 consoles. Nintendos and xbox station.

It wouldn't happen. MS fans might as well wish for all diseases to be cured while they are at it.
                               

I don't think it will ever even be close to happen, but your argument sounds very 90's: "Sega would never EVER make a game for a Nintendo console" :)

 


Well, I'm in my 30's. haha. I never said anything like that. MS has yet to sell 100 million of any of their consoles so they are more likely to pull out of the gaming market and sell the xbox brand to someone like apple than to buy sony out.
