Well if we're using that logic, Sony made up money they "lost" with SE over the last few months. But that's not logical. The reason Sony has money in their stock is not so that they can make money off them. Otherwise they'd have sold it already. The reason they have money in their stock is because they have an interest in the company. They can attempt to sway the company in the direction they want it to go and to know where it is going. SE did not make any money off the deal. They didn't sell the stock.
Also, it's investors who upped the stock.
Edit: Also, yes, they did not make any money. They could however borrow against the stock, but they're not going to do that.
