I don't think Apple can afford the whole of Sony.
I don't think Sony wants to be soldI don't think so.

Sony is currently worth about $23B.  Apple has more than that in cash reserves.

Even so, I see no reason Apple would want Sony.

 

The Playstation division would be of interest to Apple, as would their music division and films.  Apple gets content and a name in the videogame business.  This is a counter to what Microsoft is doing.  I remember reading an article awhile ago saying there is good synergy.
