If there is one Sony Studio that I would want Nintendo to aspire to and have similar in their collection, it would be Naughty Dog.
It's ridiculous to suggest that Nintendo should copy Sony and try to have a Team Ico type studio... those guys haven't released a new game since the PS2.
What I love about Sony is all the new IPs that they put their full budget behind... what I don't like about Sony is that their hardware/software teams don't work with any kind of harmony. It's their hardware engineers that are the bad part of the equation... working in secrecy, creating stuff that is hard to work with, creating stuff that is expensive and out of consumer ranges and not allocating enough of their talent on cost reduction efforts to stay competitive and profitable in the marketplace.
I am really hoping that Kaz Hirai can turn that ship around because it's headed right into an iceberg and then off a damn high cliff.
