Microsoft cant, even though they make more profit per year then Sony, Sony is still worth more then Microsoft in terms of assets.

What would assets have to do with anything?

Assets are irrelevent when buying a company. What matters is market cap.

Sony's Market Cap is about 35 Billion. You'd probably have to put at least a 10-25% premium on that to get the sale to go through.

Microsoft theoretically could buy Sony... but they'd have to make a bunch of very visible moves.

There is no such thing as a company aquring another company the size of Sony as a "Surprise".

Everytime I bring up how MS has lost 100 billion in market cap in the last 2 years people (xbots) tell me market cap isn't how you determine the value of a company. How ironic you use the market cap to now bash sony.

OT: The power of TEH CELL would mess with MS databases and send nukes at MS before they could respond.

There is actually a very informative video on the subject:

How is informing you of what buying a company takes bashing Sony?

Market Capitalization is the total price of all outstanding shares of stock. For someone to buy a company you'd need to buy 51% of that stock... and put a premium on it to get people to bite.

Assets are meaningless in this... as one of the most common reasons for aquiring a company is that it's assets are worth more then it's market cap.

When a groups assets are worth more then it's market cap groups of investors dive in like vultures... buy the company, strip it of all it's valuable assets and sells them for a profit, leaving the company's carcass out back to die.
