For what it's worth there's about 20-30% of SE shares out there in Trust Funds and banks, Sony owns about 8% of the company, if they were to buy everything from Trust Funds and Banks, they would still only own 30-40% and, with the premium the stock would carry, I think it would cost them over 100 billion yen. 


180 billion yen at my count based on outstanding shares.   Or about $2.1 billion USD.  Certainly not a price tag Sony can afford at this point.  You don't hermmorage several billion for a few years and then spend $2 billion.  Creditors and stock owners would go mad.
