What would assets have to do with anything?
Assets are irrelevent when buying a company. What matters is market cap.
Sony's Market Cap is about 35 Billion. You'd probably have to put at least a 10-25% premium on that to get the sale to go through.
Microsoft theoretically could buy Sony... but they'd have to make a bunch of very visible moves.
There is no such thing as a company aquring another company the size of Sony as a "Surprise".
