I hope not, don't like the way nintendo are handling things with the Wii U. I will just move to the xbox .

Nintendo COULD buy it out. They have more than enough money and are not losing money.

But I prefer they don't.

They wouldn't be able to outbid larger companies. As many have stated, Nintendo wouldn't even be a contender.

Considering the popularity of the PlayStation brand worldwide, you might think the relationship between Sony's main leadership and its subsidiary, Sony Computer Entertainment (PlayStation)

http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/09/sony-leaning-on-playstation/

Sony Computer Entertainment inc. Only has one Stock Holder, That is Sony, SCE inc. Stock as is Such as SCEE,SCEA etc. are not a division of Sony, they are a Division of SCE inc!, while SCE inc. is a

"subsidiary"

of Sony, and with no public (IPO)
and with Restrictions on that Stock, Sony will continue to OWN that stock.
No public buy in, if anything SCE inc. will get more investment and what would be left of Sony would in most part be more Playstation as is Sony. If Sony was set to be broken UP, Playstation is not a public Traded part of Sony its being "Held" as Sony is just a Holding Company of SCE inc.

Again SCE inc. Is a "Subsidiary" of Sony its not a Division of Sony.

I'm all for wishful thinking, I'd love to see Ninty buy Sony just to watch the waterfall happen along with the rgeat purge that will no doubt happen for those claiming they would "move" to some other platform, maybe then they will appreciate the other platform they neglected the whole time a lot better than they do currently.

Still I do like watching threads spin Sony's financial troubles the past few years into it somehow being the best profitable trouble they'd ever gotten into, maybe I should cut off my legs and somehow that will definitely balance out far better for the rest of my life than having them in the first place, /s.

I'm sure someone else would bid a lot more than what Nintendo could afford.

Nintendo wouldn't be able to handle it

Microsoft is a safe bet, as they could do a great job with Sony IPs, as well as Nintendo. Valve? You'll never see more than 2 games in the franchises. Also, I'm sure the Japanese government might step in and stop any non-Japanese company from buying a huge part of Sony. So American and ~especially~ Korean comapnies are out (so no Samsung, Google, Apple, Microsoft).

Personally, I'd be okay with either Microsoft (maybe they could work something out) or Nintendo, should it have to come to that,

this

they are managing to survive.
they cant buy.
