no way jose! 40 billion market cap is not the selling price.

the sony shareholders would demand atleast 30-60% premium on the market cap which means it is out of apple's range (shares based offer wont work either since sony is loss making and any shares based bid will lead to dilution and negative movement on the apple stock and hence devaluing the bid itself). lets not forget that some of that 51 billion also has to be spent on working capital and r&d!
Majority holding ... duh ?

I dont think Sony is one of those companies that is for sale, just like Yahoo in 2008, their stock was selling at 20 Billion and Microsoft offered 24 Billion but they rejected the offer, nd a company as big as sony wouldnt even agree on 50 Billion because its already Incorporated with the Japanese Government.

How about Apple buying Adobe or some similar sort of company. Afterall they (Apple) are the holy grail of all the web and multimedia professionals.
lol, Adobe will be too much burden for Apple to be honest. There's a huge amount of work needed for Flash and stuff

Apple thinking of buying something, proves "money in the wrong hands can be REALLY SCARY" I hope they dont buy anything, becuase they'll end up applying their "We own the customer and control everything he does" policy <_<

yeah ... sure...Apple can't make a bigger brand than Playstation (1,2,3 combined) if the life of Steve Jobs depended on it. :lol:
Not even Xbox is a bigger brand that Playstation (overall)

yaar on 2nd thought if they manage to buy 51% of sony by paying 80 % of the companys cost to sony the deal can struck and in that case things would go same........... 51% or 100% there is no big difference!

Even if Apple buys SONY off, doesn't mean they gonna merge the companies, the work will keep moving on like it always was, just the thing will be we would see a massive increase in prices >_> and i'd rather like SONY stay as it is.

Name one company that you know Apple owns and hasn't merged with Apple.

Sony won't let them do that if they don't want to. Esey hi koi bhi company apney 51% shares market mein nahi phek deti.

That's google for me ;)
me too :D I wouldn't mind if Google took over the world!

Google sets standards, not only in the tech world but also in the real world. (i.e GTFS = Google (now General) Transit Feed Specification is actually USED in buses along with GPS systems!

MS was willing to pay 40+ Billion $ for Yahoo and couldn't acquire it...do you think Sony can be bought in that considering? No.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
