Non-realistically: Nintendo, use their profits to offset a massive PS3 price cut, then once the PS3 is not leaking money, increase the price of the Wii to decrease the sales

 

Realistically, does not Nintendo have a cash reserve larger than Sony's current stock value. If Sony ever tried to get the Big N, it would find itself in a money fight with a well-equiped money-making machine.

No offense dude but no....first off nintendo is a gaming company and a trading card and namco bandi toy making company.  Their profits come from their gaming side of the business.  Sony not only has the gaming side as in the playstation brand (Ps2, Ps3, Psn,and Psp) but also tv's, blu-ray players, DVD players,camcorders, computers (vaio), sony pictures, sony music, BMG, and I believe they also dabble in columbia pictures and portable music players.  I guess what I am saying is sony is a electronics giant (ranked 3rd most purchased supplier of HD tv's in the united states behind sammy and vizio in 2008).  I know most people want to think that gaming is all sony does, but that is not the case and if they wanted to purchase nintendo....they could.  But what fun would that be.....everyone is not EA or microsoft and nintendo would not want to be bought out especially because they are doing so well currently.

Actually Nintendo as a company is worth more than the whole of Sony now. Sony could not buy Nintendo even if Nintendo allowed it.
