Rumor: Apple could be thinking about buying EA and sony

[Treblaine]

"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.

 

[lack of self CTRL]

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.

 

[esperandote]

and microsoft...

yeah right.

 

[Shameless]

Then Kevin Butler will advertise iPhones and iPads ?

 

[sooperman]

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.

 

[LogicNProportion]

If this makes TOR on Macs only, I'm gonna rage to the moon. D<

 

[BreakfastMan]

Does Apple even have that much money?

 

[KaosuHamoni]

There is NO FUCKING WAY that Apple have that much money.

Complete, and utter, bullshit

>=/

Edit: Disney are in the firing line? Meh, I don't really... wait. Disney own Marvel, and if Apple bought Disney.. NO GOD NO!!!!! WHY GIVE MEGALOMANIACS WHO TURN EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH TO SHIT ENOUGH MONEY TO OWN MARVEL!!!!! D=

Your life, permitted and sponsored by Apple.

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.

 

[Vhite]

Right, and Im going to buy a moon.

Bad Apple!

 

[Quaxar]

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?

 

[Marowit]

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.

 

[Plurralbles]

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.

 

[Tarmon'gaidin]

Hahaha that's complete uter nonsense Apple is a huge company true, but buying Sony and EA is impossible not even a much wealthier company could afford such a purchase

 

[Crowser]

Image the great flame war that would ensue between the 360 and ps3 if this went through...

You think its bad NOW? Wait until the greatest tech rivalry takes its way onto the console front ><

 

[Heart of Darkness]

So it says that Apple could target EA, Disney, Adobe, Facebook, Sony, and/or Netflix with its $51 billion dollar revenue.

Surprisingly, I really don't have strong opinions about this, other than [insert joke about Apple and Sony being perfect fits for releasing overpriced hardware].

 

[zehydra]

Just when you thought EA couldn't get any worse... lol.

Actually purchasing any of these could really lead to Apple's downfall. They'd be tapping into a market they have absolutely no experience with.

 

[acosn]

I mean, if Apple bought EA I don't see much coming of it except me having an easier time remembering what's not worth my time or money.

 

[Mcface]

Will never happen. And if it does, well i will always have my PC.
I hate mac.

 

[TimeLord]

And the final battle will be thus:

The Walmart & Tesco Alliance
vs
The Apple Corporation (Who own every other company in the world)
