Early today, a Spanish website published a leak claiming that Microsoft is acquiring Sony for about $130 billion. This is not true, and their report is completely baseless. The Spanish website also claimed that Microsoft is acquiring Sony for its first-party game library. First of all, Sony Corporation has the following divisions:

• Game & Network Services
• Music
  • Recorded Music – Streaming
  • Recorded Music – Others
  • Music Publishing
• Pictures
  • Motion Pictures
  • Television Productions
  • Media Networks
• Electronics Products & Solutions
  • Televisions
  • Audio and Video
  • Still and Video Cameras
  • Mobile Communications
• Imaging & Sensing Solutions
• Financial Services

Except for the Game and Network Services division, Microsoft has no interest in Sony’s other businesses. Even for gaming, Microsoft has the Xbox brand worldwide. Just for a few exclusive game titles, no one in the right mind will acquire such a wide range of businesses (many of them are bleeding money).

Simply said, Microsoft is NOT acquiring Sony.
