So you want them to be like Sony, who has gone down the drain since purchasing entertainment businesses? I would prefer Apple to continue doing what they do.

- jballanc 15y agoBased on the number and independence of the business units at Sony, such a comparison is strained at best. The real reason they shouldn't buy Disney is that it would be an ideological step backward. Disney creates entertainment in the same way it's been done for decades. Apple is interested in how the future of entertainment will be produced/consumed.
- michaelbuckbee 15y agoThis is a really good analogy that I hadn't previously considered. Sony has often seemed to trip over itself as it tries to sync up what's happening in their electronics and their content divisions.
- brudgers 15y agoSony is an interesting comparison. But they haven't had an iconic product associated with their brand since the BetaMax, and I don't think anyone could differentiate their content from Fox in the way that Disney's content is readily identifiable. I.e. name three specific Apple products and three Disney movies - now try that with Sony electronics and movies.
