Disney is worth far more than Sony actually.

For instance, Sony's ENT value (a theoretical value for how much it would cost to purchase a company with all assets and debts considered) currently sits at about $30 billion. By comparison, Disney's value is currently about $188 billion.

That said, Disney would have no interest acquiring sony itself with its debts and struggling manufacturing segments (which are a huge chunk of the greater conglomerate).

They might have interest in Sony Pictures/SOE/Playstation etc, but that'd be about it.

Well,  there are options to do so. I don't know why people on forums always insist that this "rule" exists...
