It makes sense if this were the case. RIM, Apple, MS, Sony and EMC just screwed Google out of a bunch of mobile phone related patents. So I would think Sony's relationship with Google isn't the best, which means they'd probably want to switch their phones over to a competitor. Only real serious alternative to Android now for companies that don't have their own OS is WP7.

MS could work on the hardware

With Backcone working on ports remasters.
And Sega doing the software....modern Sega.

If it's either cell phones, game systems or Vaios, I don't see why they would register this particular name. Wouldn't they use the products brand names instead?

Some sort of collaboration between Sony and Microsoft makes sense. Similar console strategy, Sony brand could be used in Japan, Microsoft can leverage PSP to enter the portable market, Microsoft brings funding/stability, Sony also helps Microsoft's efforts in the consumer market (phones, tablets, etc).

Still doesn't make any sense to name the website sony-microsoft. Why not Windows-Vaio? Or better yet, just use the existing sites to advertise. sony-microsoft is so vague.

This is the kind of thing I thought MS should have done with Sega a long time ago.

Fixed. Seriously, I wouldn't mind this one bit.

Not gonna happen though. Like others have said, the domains might not be game-related... unfortunately.

Microsoft and Sony have worked together plenty of times (Vaio and Windows). There's no way that a merger is coming, though.

Also, for those saying it's just a Vaio thing, don't the Vaio's have Windows 7 already? What other OS would they be using?

No we need Square-Enix to do the software. You think the Wii is a wasteland? You ain't seen nothing yet!

I'm gonna set the record straight right now: Playstation X titles that also come to Microny Windy are not considered exclusive titles.

I remember some of the older windows 7 commercials really pushed the whole sony+microsoft vibe.

edit: not the one I was thinking of but kind of shows it.

I think this at least proves a buyout or most likely a merger has been on the table. I can't see Microsoft registering the name just to troll.

I know this is nothing, but I really would love a console designed and built by Sony, who know their hardware, but have MS completely run the software side.

Would be spectacular.

Close but I would go

Hardware - Sony
Dashboard, sofware tools - MS
Game Software First Party - Sony with a little MS sprinkled in
Marketing - MS all over my face
Monthly NPD PR letter - Sony

Game set match!

It's clearly Microsoft's entry into the handheld market. The Son Y handheld shall be amazing.
