Sony has nothing on that scale. But it would be kinda strange still.

You’re right but I don’t think Sony would be able to dump 30 billion in Hulu, I think the biggest buyout they’ve ever done is Bungie for 3.5 billion, so almost ten times that for a platform with no content I don’t think it’s worth it.

Yeah, the ship has sailed on new entries to the streaming wars. Some could argue Sony won by staying out of it. Hard to say.

Sony is worth ~100 billion. Total.

There is a 0% chance that Sony thinks that the name and platform of hulu with 0 content is worth 1/3 of their company.
