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.

-sony makes 64 billion $ revenue, disney only 58 billion

-sony has 120 billion $ assets disney only 80 billion

-sony has only 6 billion debt

-Disneys value is overblown by FEDs qutative easing, it will go down and their 188 Billion $

bubble will burst if no will use the dollar soon or if the fed stops this programm

-sony is japanese company its not allowed to be bought by americans

you are skewing those numbers a lot. Sony have 120 billion in liabilities and $140 billion in assets leaving them with equity of around 20 billion. hence their share price giving them a valuation of about 30 billion. You make it sound like they are a huge healthy company when that simply isn't true. If they only had 6 billion in debt and liabilities while a 100+ billion in assets then companies all over the world would be fighting to buy them out just to strip the assets and make a cool 100 billion profit.
