By Perkins’ estimates, they’ve already spent $15 billion (yeah, I know, pocket change) on the market, so taking over a studio for some content seems like the next logical step. He even suggests that they look at Vivendi since they’re certainly up for grabs these days. Microsoft Universal Studios. I can’t wait.
