Probably not  :P
Probably more likely to close them then sell them lol

Sony doesn't really need anything other than better leadership in Japan.  

The thing that people don't get is that MS is going on a buying spree because they have nothing.  Literally all the devs they setup have been shut down.  Instead of Sony needing to be reactionary to Microsoft, I think Microsoft fans need to ask themselves "What's going to happen to all these studios they just bought?"  They've been buying up mediocre studios, and with their history of taking high end developers, crushing them to the point where they make trash really needs to show you all you need to know about Microsoft's leadership.  They're as bad as EA and I'm sure all those studios they just bought are going to be shut down in 5 years, if they ever get anything to market.
They probably have them rushing for launch exclusives on the next xbox. And they usually turn out average at best. Games like killzone shadow fall and ryse come to mind. Not crud. Just average.

Sony are really in a much better place now though. Like last gen at this point they were busting their bollix putting everything into winning gamers back on the ps3. Which resulted in the ps4 suffering early on in terms of top exclusives.

Now however with this gen in the bag they can afford to have developers starting earlier on ps5 games such as god of war 2, spiderman 2 and especially horizon 2.

And unlike last gen anything that releases late on ps4 will likely get a ps5 port. Shenmue, ff7 remake, ghost of tsushima, TLOU2, death stranding etc. Plus there could be games like monster Hunter world 2 coming early on.

Bottom line is they can really hit the ground running. Wouldn't it be crazy if they got something like 30m ps5 produced year 1. If they have a strong enough line up and a powerful machine at €400 they could pull it off.
