Even if Sony were to leave the gaming industry, it wouldn't be the end of PlayStation, they'd sell brand and tech to the Japanese best offerer.

Or to Apple. Dear god...

As much as it hurts me to say. I think, right now, the Apple brand, the Appstore and iTunes are so strong they wouldn't even need or want the Playstaion and the PSN brand (btw. can you imagine Playstation with iOS :( ).

I think Samsung would be the best candidate, in that case.

A good candidate indeed, but I'm sure the Japanese government would do everything possible to keep PlayStation Japanese, so maybe Panasonic or Mitsubishi or Fujitsu, just to name the first three Japanese giants I found that currently enjoy good financials.

What about Nintendo?? :O

Ninty should surely be rich, big and healthy enugh to do it, but if an antitrust exists also in Japan, it would block such acquisition. BTW, Ninty most probably would keep tech, engineers, technicians, IP and dev teams, but it could be tempted to suppress the PlayStation brand, and this would be a loss for Japan and for the whole gaming world.
