Sony set to buy 10 per cent share in Olympus
Reports from Japan claim that Sony will invest heavily in rival camera manufacturer Olympus.
The reputable Nikkei news source claims that Sony will snap up a ten per cent share in the company for ?397m ($620m).
This would make Sony the single largest shareholder at Olympus, which is still reeling from last year's accounting scandal, when it failed to declare investment losses and overstated profits.
The report suggests that Olympus could take advantage of Sony's market share in the imaging sector to lower its production costs and end two years of losses.
Endoscopic goodness
The agreement is also likely to see Sony take a hand in Olympus' profitable manufacturing of medical supplies.
The company currently owns around 70 per cent of the endoscope market, with Sony's sensor-developing expertise expected to cement that share.
An agreement is expected within next month, according to Nikkei.

Nintendo unveils super-sized 3DS XL game machine
58 min.
Nintendo has unveiled a new super-sized?version of its Nintendo 3DS handheld game machine. During a pre-recorded online video released Thursday?night, the game giant took the wraps off of?the Nintendo 3DS XL (that's XL for extra large) -- a gadget that boasts top and bottom screens that are?90 percent larger than the original 3DS's screens.
The original 3DS launched?in March of last year, offering players a chance to play?games in eye-grabbing?3D without having to wear?special glasses.?The new 3DS XL?handheld will?run $199.99 and will launch in North America on?August 19 -- the same day "New Super Mario Bros. 2" launches for the 3DS.
Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America,?said the super-sized version of the 3DS will come?with an updated form factor and a battery that outperforms that of the original 3DS. ?That means the top screen will measure 4.88 inches while the bottom?screen is 4.18 inches and the battery?will last 3.5 to 6.5 hours (compared to the?3 to 5 hours with the 3DS).
The 3DS XL also comes bundled with a 4 gig SD card for storing downloadable content from Nintendo's eShop.
"Your handheld gaming experiences will be more intense and more engrossing than ever before," Fils-Aime?said.
While the Nintendo DS line of game machines had been a long-running?hit for the Japanese company, the Nintendo 3DS struggled to thrive when it launched last year?in the new smartphone-filled game market. But smartphone competition was only part of the problem. Nintendo had launched the 3DS without enough hit games to support it and at a steep $250 price. It?was quickly forced to cut the 3DS price?to $170.?
The super-sized 3DS isn't especially surprising. Back in 2010, Nintendo released a larger version of its DSi game machine -- called the DSi XL.
?Fils-Aime on Tuesday?pitched the 3DS?XL's larger top screen as a boon for those who like to watch videos via Netflix?on their Nintendo handheld. He also?said the launch of the 3DS XL and "New Super Mario Bros 2" marks the beginning of "a huge push" by Nintendo on behalf of the 3DS.

Heyward hits 2 HRs as Braves outslug Yankees
By HOWIE RUMBERG
AP Sports Writer
Associated Press Sports
updated 5:08 p.m. ET June 20, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) - Jason Heyward and the Atlanta Braves never intended to challenge the powerful New York Yankees to a game of home run derby in the Bronx. Still, they came out ahead.
Heyward hit two of a record nine homers at the new Yankee Stadium and the Braves outslugged the Yankees for a 10-5 victory in the sweltering heat Wednesday.
"We survived," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Freddie Freeman, Martin Prado, Heyward and David Ross all connected off Phil Hughes (7-6) to build a 6-1 lead on a sticky, 94-degree afternoon. Michael Bourn stole what might've been another home run from Jayson Nix after missing an earlier opportunity for a try at a leaping grab.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 640th career homer, and Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter and Eric Chavez all hit long balls against Tommy Hanson (8-4).
"It's just that kind of ballpark," Heyward said, "but at the same time we got two teams that are capable of hitting some home runs."
The Yankees, who have a major league-leading 105 homers, managed just four other hits in their second straight loss after a 10-game winning streak. They pulled to 6-5 on Curtis Granderson's RBI single in the seventh but Rodriguez ended the inning with a double-play grounder.
"It's been up and down, like a lot of our other hitters," manager Joe Girardi said of Rodriguez's season.
In the eighth, Freeman hit an RBI single and Heyward a two-run shot off Boone Logan to help Atlanta pull away for its third win in 10 games and second straight against New York. The Yankees swept the Braves in Atlanta last week.
Heyward had the go-ahead hit Tuesday night and added a triple.
"We're really, really good when Jason's swinging the bat well."
Even though he didn't start in a day game after playing Tuesday night, Chipper Jones still was a factor early. In the final year of a Hall of Fame-worthy career, Jones was honored before his last regular-season game against the Yankees. On behalf of the Yankees, Jeter and former Braves teammate Andruw Jones gave Chipper third base from Tuesday's game. In 19 years with Atlanta, Chipper Jones faced the Yankees in two World Series.
With the sun beating down on the crowd of 45,094, the public address announcer urged fans visit the cooling stations set up in the concourses.
Girardi emphasized how important it was to be aggressive early on a day that felt as if it were over 100 degrees with the oppressive humidity. The Braves were.
Bourn singled leading off and, with two outs, stole second without a throw. He scored on Dan Uggla's single to left. Freeman wasted no time, connecting on the first pitch he saw for a two-run drive into the New York bullpen in right-center to make it 3-0.
Jeter got one back with his fourth leadoff homer of the season, hitting Hanson's first pitch into the stands in right-center.
"When Jeter caught that one in the first, I was like `here we go,"' Ross said.
Hanson only gave up one hit after Jeter's homer until Chavez led off the fifth with a drive to straightaway center field. Bourn watched the homer clear the fence and land in the netting over Monument Park then jumped and smacked his hand to glove.
Bourn made the play he wanted after a walk to Russell Martin, ranging far to his right to snare Nix's fly above the wall to protect a 6-2 lead.
Heyward stood at the fence in right field and watched Rodriguez's high fly leading off the sixth carry into the stands. The RBI was A-Rod's 1,925th, breaking a tie with Jimmie Foxx for sole possession of sixth on the career list.
Cano followed with a smash deep into the stands in right-center to end Hanson's day for the Yankees' third back-to-back homers of the season - one was three in a row.
Hanson matched a career high with the four homers allowed. He came in 6-0 with a 1.22 ERA against AL East teams, but gave up four runs in five-plus innings this time.
All season Hughes has been hurt by the homer, giving up at least one in each of his first 12 starts before keeping the ball in the park in his previous outing. The career-most four allowed Wednesday boosted his total to a majors-leading 19 this year.
"He just didn't have great location today," Girardi said.
NOTES: Teams have combined to hit eight homers at the ballpark that opened in 2009 three times. ... Mark Teixeira was out of the Yankees lineup Wednesday. He was hit on the left foot by Heyward's hard grounder Tuesday night and Girardi said the first baseman was still sore. He doubled as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. ... Former Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams was chosen as manager of the World Team in the All-Star weekend Futures Game for minor leaguers on Sunday, July 8 in Kansas City. ... The 94 degrees at game time was not the hottest start for Atlanta. It was 97 degrees in Arizona when they faced the Diamondbacks on April 21 with the roof open. ... The Yankees are the last team to allow 10 runs in a game. ... Heyward has three multihomer games.
