They can't afford it. Not even at this moment and if anything about such plans surfaced, Sony stocks would skyrocket, easily quadrupling the price for such a takeover. We're talking about 100 billion dollars or more. Only Apple could pull such a thing off. As of may 2014, Disney had 4.4 billion $ cash on hand with 15.4 billion in debt. (if Forbes is anything of a credible source for stuff like that) So they would have to buy Sony solely off of credit. Which bank in the world would give such a massive credit? Also, Sony isn't quite healthy right now, what would be the point? Buy a company for a shitload of money that most likely won't make you that money back in the next 200 years? I don't think so.
Disney buying Sony Pictures could happen, if Sony fails to have some profits in the next few years and they are (once again) desperate for cash.
