Like what EA did to Sega taking NFL away. Microsoft would be wise to do this so why havent they bought sony, nintendo and pc already???

Wait.... BUY PC?? Did you just say BUY PC?! Wow.

PC is not a business you can buy, it is simply 3rd party hardware which runs an operating system, usually Windows. You cannot buy PC. It's not feesable. And while Microsoft could buy Sony, the gaming division cannot, and that would be the only reason they would.

So that they could force Sony to only make 480p TVs, launch a new console and trash PC graphics! Genius :o

This is like the third thread by you that seems like a joke. Either you need to do some research or you just like making joke threads.

You can't 'buy pc'.

There's no way that Microsoft would buy both companies at once. Never mind that it's technically mpossible to buy out 'PC'.

Microosoft has enough money to gargle these companies up easily.slarkyslark
So you're saying Microsoft has enough cash and stock to purchase every company that manufactures a PC? Let's rattle off a few - Dell, HP, Dell's Alienware division, plus others? No, they don't have enough resources to control PC manufacturing, not by a long shot.

You could buy every one of those companies and it wouldn't stop PC. People would just build their own, or start up their own companies.

But reviews cost like $800. It's no problem to buy a few for Microsoft. I heard they even have discounts if you buy multiple.

Microosoft has enough money to gargle these companies up easily. I don't see why they havent done it already. If you have money to eliminate your competition, use it. Like what EA did to Sega taking NFL away. Microsoft would be wise to do this so why havent they bought sony, nintendo and pc already???

For PC platform holders, Microsoft has buy Intel and AMD.

MS have a lot of money but certainly not enough to buy out every company that manufactures computer tech, intel and amd are worth a fortune, then there is nvidia and all the component manufacturers etc etc no company has that kind of money, and either way i could see a lot of people who work for these companies (who didnt like ms's over shady business tactics in the past) jump ship and create new companies just on principal

Monopolizing the industry... Yeah MS want that really bad but the court do not. They are not allowed to simply buyout their competition because its anti-competitive and means MS can simply lay down their hat and not release another damn thing yet continue raking in a complete fortune.

Because it's a stupid waste of resources. Competition is good and Microsoft know this. (yes i know they had a monopoly but i believe they have learned since). The US State department would probably prevent them.

Just because you own companies doesn't mean you'll auto make money.

I dont believe PC is a specific company. However, MS does provide the OS to a large number of PCs.

Microsoft don't need to "Buy PC" they're Microsoft, you know the guys behind Windows... Why do people treat Sony like they're just a games company? they're primarily a consumer electronics manufacturer. It's going to take a ****load of cash to buy Sony. As for Nintendo I don't think Nintendo are ever going to be bought out as the majority of the current heads are still there. Man this guys threads are legendary, keep them coming.
