Long time lurker here. I feel the need to chip in. SCE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corp:

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press_Archive/200311/03-054E/

This means Sony Corp controls 100% of SCE's stocks, and SCE's stocks are not available for public trading.

MSFT buying SCE is not an option, unless MSFT were to buy all of Sony Corp.

There's no such thing as "SCE stocks", as SCE is not a company, just a division.

That's why I previously said that Sony's investors are the only ones who can force Sony to sell SCE. If Microsoft made an offer which Sony's investors wanted Sony to accept, it could happen.

I don't think it's very likely though, unless Sony's profits tank much more or SCE makes big losses. If that happens, Sony could be forced to sell off unprofitable parts of the company.
