This again?
Well lets just say this, anyone who believes it is going to happen can go ahead and hold their breath until it does =)
Aside from how expensive it would be for these companies to buy the brand and ignoring the fact that both companies are looking to become profitable in this market sooner rather than MUCH later, it doesn't make any sense for the reasons stated by Fishyjoe.
Plain and simple, R* likely couldn't produce enough games this generation to allow a company to recoup its cost, because keep in mind that while R* may produce a lot of revenue the only thing that will truly offset the cost paid to purchase the studio is profits. So not only will Sony/MS be trying to get rid of the usual production overhead but they would also have a gigantic hole dug that they would have to get out of before it would ever become truly worthwhile.
