Who could buy Sony?

Isn't Sony a stockholder company? It wouldn't be enough to just buy them out you have to somehow wrestle enough shares of the company to come to own it.

I think if enough share holders agree to sell their Sony shares at a good price to another company, the sales would be approved. Sharp which is a Japanese TV and electronics company is also a stockholder company which got sold to another company. Motorola also has stocks, but it got sold to Google, and Google sold Motorola to Lenovo.

I think Apple can afford to buy Sony because Apple earns a lot of money from selling expensive iPhones, iPads, Macs, and software.

Microsoft also still makes a lot of money from selling Windows, Microsoft Office, Visual Studios, etc, so MS probably can buy Sony if MS wants to.

Google makes a lot of money from ads, YouTube, and other stuff, so Google have the money to buy Sony.

Other non-tech companies like oil companies like Exxon can probably afford to buy Sony because oil companies earned a lot of money over the years by pumping gas out of the ground to sell to oil buyers.

There must be some rules in place before one can sell since I would think a shareholder company would be dangerous otherwise.

I think in countries like Canada and the US the government needs to approve of the deal. But, in countries where the laws are more relaxed, a person or company who buy the most stocks of a company can probably control most of the company.
 
I think Verizon, and Comcast may have the money to buy Sony if they wanted to because Verizon, and Comcast bought a lot of big companies in the past like Yahoo, and American TV channels.
 
Sony won't sell, they are making a bomb out of it. Sony is one of the big companies out there and known to be running for years. If they going to sell up then we probably hear from google or Microsoft since they own just about anything. Even twitch and curse is now totally own my the same company that is google I think.

Aren't many company out there are owned private.
