Microsoft, Sony to be Partners?

| by Karan Shah | General

New domain registrations by Microsoft suggest that arch enemies Microsoft and Sony could be teaming up! The domains registered are sony-microsoft.com and Microsoft-sony.com. Both these domains currently just lead up to a search page, however, there’s no official word yet on what those URLs are going to be utilised for.

Partners?

Partners?

 

 

 

Gamers might see this as a rather bizarre case of two separate plans intersecting each other. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PS3 are mortal enemies and there seems a possibility of a combination of the two evolving into a super console for gamers.

On the other hand, it could just be for the PC platform with Sony PCs already shipping with Windows. Or a new Sony Ericsson phone running Windows Phone 7? With Sony’s recent online problems, there could also be a possibility of integration with Xbox Live. With two massive companies, the combinations are endless. For now, Microsoft is staying put by confirming that the registration was a ‘defensive domain hold’.

Either way it’s a win – win situation for both companies currently suffering from hardware (Read: Microsoft) and online (Read: Sony) problems.

What do you think this ‘apparent’ latest merger is about? Do let us know in the comments section.
