I think theres zero chance of this happening. Sony is in no position to buy anyone, they need to worry about bankrupcy and insolvence. Remeber they got rated as trash on the credit market. They have debt as it is and they have to pay even higher interest rates on loans. Belive me, this has no chance of happening.
With that said, i dont think it would help Sony at all. Nintendo is the perfect fit for SEGA games. The audience is somewhat alike but more hardcore. Its something Nintendo could certaily use to make the Wii U more appealing in their new strategy to capture the hardcore aswell. Also, they can afford it.
Microsoft would profit from it aswell with more IP's to draw from, but lets be honest, everything Microsoft touches turns to crap, so i honestly hope that doesnt happen. They obviously can afford them aswell.
