Analyst Evermore believes that selling 6 million PS3 consoles will make Sony a ripe target for takeover — perhaps even by Microsoft."

If we run with the idea of Bill Gates or MS (If they can ever really be seperated) wanting to buy Sony (I know it's not very realistic) they could use the idea contained here to pretty much sink Sony before buying it. Say Bill Gates was to buy every PS3 which was for sale by buying all that the main distributors had, Sony makes a big loss and won't sell a single game for them. They can't make enough consoles to plug that hole... they're in trouble. Bill comes out and openly admits it and suggests that all investors sell their shares or lose everything. Share price plumets. Sony goes to the verge of bankruptcy, maybe even calls in the liquidators before, hey presto, they've found a buyer - none other than MS!

1. Simply sell their console to themselves at the typical loss.
2. Then sell them on ebay for the price people are actually willing to pay.
3.
4. Profit!!!!!
Please use the appropriate 'numbered list appending ellipsis and Profit!!!!!' format in the future.

Actually, my only 1:1 "interaction" with Ballmer was when he held the door for me at the entrance to the health-club most MSFT guys go to in Redmond. He had forgotten his health-club id card that morning. His money more or less built the whole place so I smirked as he explained who he was to the person working the card scanner. "Ballmer.. B-A-L-L-M-E-R..".
I can attest that when asked who he was, he did not shout "DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS!"

Sony is going to have a lot of trouble withstanding an attack from Gamera, as not only does he possess great destructive power, but he is also a friend to all children.
