My friend works at epic and there were discussing to put gears of war 2 and 3 to the PS3 and leave the first as an exclusive for the xbox 360, since epic had good runs with sony and they know each other well, I HOPE THIS HAPPENS! i dont see why not!

(sorry for no link, there is no just what my friend said which works there)

Not going to happen. MS is lookingto buy that IP, as they did Halo. Plus, it won't run as good or look as good on the PS3 since every game that has been on both consoles thus far, has looked an dplayed better on the 360.

In 2000, Microsoft was the 47th richest company in the world...Sony was 107th, I understand that was seven years ago, but I highly doubt Sony passes Microsoft in that time

Microsoft owns the rights to the 1st two Gears of War.  A third iteration could see it's way to the PS3, but I highly doubt it.  Listen to the 1UP Yours Podcast if you don't beleive me.

Are you kidding me? Sony being bigger than Microsoft? I don't want to burst your bubble, but MS is one of, if not THE, biggest and richest companies in the world

 

if sony really wanted to put a hurt on MS all they would have to do is create a rival OS system for PC's and then distribute the software for free for use on all new PC's and exsiting PC's, remember ms is a software company (except for the 360 and zune), that right there would take a big chunck of ms's money away. sony is the 2nd largest electronics manufacturer (remember they make everything you can think of from t.v.'s to toasters to gaming systems to computers), and it would take ms allot more than making a better gaming system to hurt sony to the same degree.

 

 

 

as far as your " Sony being bigger than Microsoft? I don't want to burst your bubble, but MS is one of, if not THE, biggest and richest companies in the world", they make an os, software, then they burn that data to a disk and sell it. how do you kill a snake, you cutt of it's head...... come on sony make a new and better os and cutt of ms's head

well yeah but neither of those companies are going to sell themselves to the other, big companies just dont to that to each other, even if they do "dislike" each other. besides how would u guys know which one is better or has more money, or who will own who in the years to come.

NOT! MS paided and own's the rights. The only place you'll see gears 2 or 3 will be on the pc for Games for Windows which Ms owns. Get the picture. MS paide for the ads, they paid for the game to be made and paid and paided and paided. All epic had to do was pay the developers salaries. My advice, look for sony to get us some decent games over the next 8 months and be happy. Or do what I did and got both consoles.

Though I understand your logic, first think of the money Sony would lose by making an application meant to rival MS and then sell it for free. I don't think they would take the chance, part of the reason they haven't yet. Second, there are soo many Windows users that won't ever jump to another application because they know Windows works.

I'm not trying to start a heated argument, but the claim that Sony can buy Microsoft is ridiculous. Microsoft is so established that it will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

i do understand that it cost allot to make software, im just saying that if sony wanted to hurt ms all they would have to do is make an os that will compete for all the exsiting computers, and make there software cheaper than windows to put on new computers, ms monopolizes the software industry because every pc that is made comes with windows on it

 

also keep in mind i wasnt the one who said sony could buy ms, that was not me, im not that stupid, i was mearly saying if sony made an good os to rival windows it would hurt ms, thats all i was saying

The only reason I would believe something like this is that in an interview, which can be found on Kotaku.com, the president of Epic said that the PS3 was the machine to beat and that he really liked it.

WHy do you think Microsoft has a monopoly on the OS market? There are other systems out there but people are not willing to move because they are comfortable with windows. That is the main reason most companies will not try to compete with microsoft at this point. Plus MS has so much money now they can easily bankrupt any company.

Its doesn't make business for either one to buy the other out.

Gears 2 should be better, this time they can make it last longer than a days hardcore gaming.

ms monoplolizes the market because they have a simple os that is so user friendly and cheap (for companies like compaq and dell to buy in mass quanity) that it comes pre packaged with most new pc's. an os like linux is not as user friendly and scare most people away, but from what i hear is allot more powerfull. fact is you make a more powerful, easier, and cheaper os, well then you might be able to take a chunk away from ms, that's all i was saying, dont read to deep into it, all sony would have to do really is have the os on their computers (the ones they actually make unlike ms) and that could be enough to get a chunk of the market to start using their os over windows

 

by the way if you think other os software companies arent competeing against ms today than your not too bright, ms is lucky that apple only has their os on their computers, i would rather run my pc on apples os than windows

MS monopolizes the OS market because their competitor that clearly has a more stable and better OS will not allow it to be put on pcs.

[QUOTE="NooBAFIED"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"][QUOTE="NooBAFIED"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"]Won't happen, Microsoft personally will not let it happen.Deihmos

sony can own microsoft by bits and pieces and over time own them

Huh?

sony is bigger and could take more then half of microsoft shares then buy them its simple and happens to companies

 

You obviously never looked at Microsoft Profit and Loss statement :lol:

I would advice doing a little more research and you would realize that MS is much bigger than sony. Sony may drive more revenue than MS, however MS profits and free cash flow far exceed that of sony. And another thing due to gov regulations sony could never buy half of Ms shares outright. They would have to make a bid to buy MS and not only will that not happen sony cannot afford to do so.

 I will break it down even further

Sony revenue $63.980 billion USD (2006)

operating income $1,604 million USD (2006)

Net income $1,604 million USD (2006)

 Employees 158,500 (March 31, 2006)

MS revenue 44.2 billion (2006)

Operating income US$16.4 billion (2006)

Net income US$12.6 billion (2006)

 Employees 71,172 (2006)

It should be plain to see who is bigger here. This info you can get from sony's and Ms corporate sites
