Sonys assets excluding intellectual property would be worth over 5 times what abc is worth, that's exclusing debt pay downs and paying off deals that Disney may not want with 3rd parties. 

Not really? I can't really think of more than a few franchises that Sony has that are really worth all that much. There is Spiderman... which was made by Marvel... which Disney owns the majority of rights to.

So really we agree then ? Regardless of debt, Disney would need to shell out to purchase all of their assets. The only way Sony will ever sell is if their creditors purchase pas of them, or the company is splintered into parts. Disney purchasing nintendo would make sense. Not Sony. Sony make some fantastic products. But none of them sell that well. My Bravia 50R550 is magnificent but Sony dont receive good reviews (corrupt reviewers really) so they don't sell. Similar store with Xperia tab and phone. Great but sell terribly. Good image too, but bad pro reviews. It's complicated.

Yeah, everyone is far overthinking this. If this were true. Which I doubt it is. It wouldn't be for all of Sony. The Columbia Pictures part is really all that Disney would want. There is no point getting involved in Sony's electronics. Btw the way that Sony is set up now it is basically just a whole bunch of companies that share a name. That is why we get funny stuff like how the Interview was released on XBL but not on PSN. 

The TV part of Sony is alreday a different company altogether
