It all started with a phone call from a friend who had heard we were moving to a new house. It was the first time he had heard of the company’s plans. He had been on the fence about the move, but after hearing we were heading to a new home he was all about the plan.
The plan is to have most of the company move to the new house by the end of the year, so the rumors are that Sony is planning to sell the company to Amazon. My friend thinks Amazon will have a lot of money to spend on the company, but as a result of the acquisition there will be lots of free cash to be made by Sony.
Amazon is certainly expected to be buying the company, but the rumors also make it appear that the company will stay in California, which is just one reason why I think Amazon will have a lot to spend on Sony.
According to this report, though, Sony will not be selling the company to Amazon. Instead, Sony is going to keep it in California, and use the proceeds to build up its own entertainment division.
Sony isn’t going to be selling the company, but it is keeping it in California. That’s in part because of this reason, as well as the fact that the company will have plenty of free cash to be made by Sony. Amazon is a different story though, because it has a lot of cash to spend on Sony. Amazon wants to own a huge chunk of the entertainment business, which it will do by taking over Sony’s entertainment division.
Amazon has also been developing the company into a company that has the ability to be a threat to Google when it comes to search. Amazon already has a patent on a way to search for what you want to buy, so if you want to sell your product on Amazon, you need to make sure it’s in their search engine. Amazon also wants to be able to make it easier for Amazon shoppers to find the things they want.
If Amazon’s strategy works, it might be able to become a threat to Google. Just like Google was a threat to Microsoft when it came to search, Amazon might be considered a threat to Amazon itself. If Amazon’s search engine is as good as its video and music search, and it can make it so that Amazon people can do searches that Google can’t, imagine how well it would be able to take on Google.
Sony would be foolish to bet against it though because it would take Google down with it. Amazon is already using Google to its advantage with its search engine, and it also has other ways of getting people to visit its site, its store, and its content. It might be too early to bet on Amazon becoming a threat to Google, but if it does, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Amazon has always been a little out of the loop to the mainstream and that’s fine, but it’s far too early to make that bet. Amazon is still so far from becoming a major player in the online shopping experience that it’s not even worth it. It would be foolish to bet against Amazon.
Its not clear what the deal with Amazon is, but it has been rumored that the company is now working on a new shopping app that would include Amazon Prime. I think this makes perfect sense. If you can get a Prime membership, you’d have access to the Amazon Prime store as well. And unlike Amazon, its content could be better. If you know a lot about Amazon products you could still get a Prime membership, but you would have access to more Amazon content.
