It appears that the company is valued at around 2 billion. I am not sure who would want to buy them considering they have so many legal problems...
That's an easy one ...
This is (pretty much) the only console generation where there has not been a new company producing a console, if Apple, Walmart or Imperial Oil decided they wanted to make a game console it would make sense to buy 4 or 5 publishers Take-Two's size to create your First party developers ...
On the other hand, I suspect that if you broke up the studios and paired them with various licences (Rock Star North with Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar San Diego with Midnight Club, etc.) you could make a profit by selling all of the small studios; Microsoft (as an example) might be willing to spend hundreds of millions (or Billions) of dollars in order to ensure that Grand Theft Auto was exclusive ...
I can see it being easier to sale that way.
