If Sony was a lean targeted company like Nintendo with a few thousand employees and no excess divisions in areas where you have no interest; I could see this as a possibility. But of course, these are the very reasons Nintendo isn't even remotely available.

To buy into a company with 160,000 employees, big debt, and a gazillion product lines in which you have no interest, and several are competitiive, to get a trademark that is at the moment somewhat tarnished and a few studios, not unless they were totally insane. Besides Apple doesn't want anybody else's brand anyway, they want their own, and Playstation doesn't even start with "I".
