Microsoft: Total assets US$ 86.113 billion (2010)
Sony: Total assets ¥11.22 trillion / $188.694 billion (2010)

If total assets is the best way to determine company size, damn your right. I'd expect a merger though.

No lol. It's market cap.

Kinda neat, but don't let your imagination run too loose or you'll get burned. My bet is this has absolutely nothing to do with gaming.

What the fuck

I'm guessing they're looking at the way things are going at Sony right now and at least considering it.

Time to take Nintendo down.
If this happens I hope they run their business more like current Sony than current Microsoft.

They want to do a website to compare their products with Sony's ?

Can MS use Sony in the website title without permission?

I remember MS went batshit when some kid had MikeRoweSoft.com as his website.

Than give a better comparison.

Well, Sony Ericsson was one of the top 10 brands to disappear this year. So maybe Sony is folding them in, and just rebranding their phones "Sony".

...either that or new laptops / tablets / dinghies.

With Vita using Android, that seems unlikely.

Since they registered both Microsoft-Sony and Sony-Microsoft I'm guessing a merger is being toyed with and they want to take the domain before an opportunist does.

Its like the Dominon War in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Nintendo is The Dominion, and Microsoft are the Klingons and Sony are the Romulans. They have to team up to beat The Dominion in the end, see.

Meanwhile, Valve are the Q and don't notice these wars between the lesser powers.

Ok, but who is starfleet then?

But Microsoft can buy Sony?

A merger makes no sense for Microsoft

Edit: oh already posted, I thought I was creative for a second!

Microsoft and Sony have realized the only way to combat the upcoming Wii U juggernaut is to join forces.
 
The internet is starting to heat to a rolling boil.
Hopefully this doesn't stretch on in an endless wave of specula...oh who am I kiddin'

Playstation X

Hardware by Sony, Dev tools and online by MS and they both release a controller for it.

I would buy it.
Maybe that's where the recent PS4 2012 and xbox 2015 is coming from. MS and Sony will be alternating brands as they release their line of next gen consoles.
