"But it today emerged that financial wires have also nodded to Adobe, Disney and - wait for it - Sony."

No, No and really, do I have to say no?

Number one, everyone knows that Apple and Adobe hate each others guts over this flash ridiculousness. No sale. This source is clearly bullshit for even suggesting it.

Plus Sony is worth WAY more than $50 billion, more like 80 to 100 billion US Dollars.

This is utter nonsense. Apple MAY be able to AFFORD buying out EA games but it's no where near that easy, the company would have to accept the offer.

Hey, remember ages ago there was that rumour Apple was gonna make their own game console?
Maybe this is a preamble to that.
Unless it's not true, which it probably is.

Hasn't Jobs been against producing video games for all these years? His stance on games was simply disinterest, but maybe the other bigwigs are getting anxious about the industry.

EA, maybe. Sony, I don't think so. It would be the same principle as Apple buying Microsoft.

I can't help feeling nervous at the idea of large corporations growing larger.
I'm also scared. Soon people will have to jailbreak their lives in order to get away from Apples influence.

OT: No, get away Apple! I don't want to see that symbol on any of the games I want.

Sure, I want to buy Sony too, I just don't go around and advertise it.

And all in all I doubt that even if Pear Apple had plans... you don't just go up to Sony and tell them "'sup, Ima ur boss now. Here's some money, go buy some candy."
We're talking about two of the biggest companies in their business here, don't you think they would be stupid to share their future profit unless they had serious money-problems?

Seems like something that might draw atni-trust suits, unless it's only for the video game publishing arm of Sony.

If it's Sony, outright, it seems like a great way for Apple to make apple-TV-only-TVs as well as their own console to compete with the 360.

Why teh fuck do they have 51 billion dollars of spending money?!

WTF?

Apple is too big already.

Facebook and Netflix would fuck over the world.

Imagine Disney Land owned by apple... SHIT.

And Sony's MP3 players are vastly superior to IPods so... Fuck them.
