I'd be surprised if they weren't bought out by the end of the year. Way too many valuable assets that they are just sitting on.
Are they actually that valuable anymore?
They basically have Monster Hunter, which is built on top of a shaky and declining market (both in terms of handhelds and dedicated games in general in Japan), Resident Evil, which is damaged, Street Fighter, which isn't overly huge and is something of a question mark, and then a sea of series that don't sell enough to be worth the time of day to the companies who could afford them.
Someone who can do both merchandizing and mass IP exploitation (as in across all plausible platforms based on what region the series still have any sway in) would probably get the most value.
