Buying SE would certainly catch Sony up a bit as far as owning the highest selling franchises.  Despite being in the industry a lot longer Sony owns two franchises (Grand Turismo and God of War) in the top 50 selling video game franchises of all time.  Microsoft is about to own 7 (Call of Duty, Minecraft, Halo, Bejeweled, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, Crash Bandicoot) with Fallout and Gears of War being just outside the top 50 and Doom despite not being on the the top list being one of the most important games in video game history.  Both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are in the top 50 selling list.  Series like Uncharted, Last of Us, and Insomniacs's Spiderman can one day get on the list if those series continue, and Destiny is surprising just outside the top 50 sold list.  I really don't think they buy SE, I don't think they need to, but Capcom would make a lot of sense.

Do you know what is Capcom's price ?

Their market value today is 7.6B so it depends on the premium % they would accept on top of that. Between 10 and 11B would be my own personal guess. Far outside of Sony's left over budget for acquisitions this year that's for sure.
