Nintendo and Atlus have been close for years, particularly on DS and 3DS. If Nintendo bought Atlus and it became a first-party studio like Monolith Soft, it would be huge. All future Atlus releases as Nintendo exclusives? Nintendo would be impossible for Sony to dethrone in Japan if that were to happen.

I think you will find that Sony is more interested in the west than Japan. Even their Japanese studios are making western games - Knack, Puppeteer, Rain.
