All Sony needs to do is lower the PS3 price tag closer to XBOX. No one cares that it is two-for-one (Blu-Ray and game console). Consumers look at the bottom line.

Hmm... At $21 Billion, Apple can buy Sony.
And to think ten years ago the question was whether Sony would buy Apple....

Why would Apple ever do that? Seriously. Next thing we know, PS4 will be all pure white and smiley face on the screen as you turn it on.

sythara:

Apple could do that for exactly why you note. The Gaming and Media properties. Apple needs a game console. They don't have one. They also need clout in the content industry. Owning Sony would help.

Egads this merger would make sence for Apple. Sony of course would get nothing out of it.
