I recently discovered that the domain Sony-Microsoft.com was actually owned by Microsoft! The domain is currently offline, so please don't just start flaming, but check out the source and see for yourself.

But what could this mean? It's registered to Microsoft. But what's weird, is that they put Sony first in the domain! Could Sony and Microsoft finally be coming together to make the ultimate gaming console? Or could it just be for Microsoft to program the Vaio laptops?

Think about: each console (PS3 and Xbox 360) have something that makes it unique. But they also lack things that the other console has, so why not make a system that has all of those features? It'll be the ultimate gaming console, with no holes in between.

So what do you think? Is it just for the Vaio laptops? Or is it finally time for the ultimate gaming console?

EDIT: @fxshaw recently tweeted that the domain was registered so people wouldn't abuse it. (Thanks Ropponen)

What happened with BF3 was it was actually just a bunch of BF3 fanboys saying "MW3 sucks!" etc. This is weird though because Sony is in the domain, and they are mentioned first! I see what you are saying, but I don't think that's what's going on...

Anyone getting excited about them 'joining forces' to make a console together, don't. They legally wouldn't be allowed to in Europe, as it would be considered a monopoly, and Sony & Microsoft obviously wouldn't produce something only for it to be rejected in Europe. Whatever this is for, is probably something closer to computers or mobile phones.
