Sony's total debt is over $14B. It's value is under $10B. Google, Microsoft nor anyone else is going to take on $14B of debt for $10B of value.

Actually, as of June 2012, Sony has $135 billion in total liabilities (debt) compared to $166 billion in assets at that time. 0.8005 debt to equity ratio.

EDIT: I should probably explain further: equity is basically the amount left after you subtract liabilities from assets. Capital intensive companies often have really high ones because of borrowing, but a fairly healthy one for a corporation that isn't based off of borrowing is below 0.5.
