While EA was busying itself with a Take-Two Interactive takeover, the Wallstreet Journal has suggested that EA itself has what it takes to be a "tasty takeover morsel".

Word comes via Barron's that the Wall Street Journal proposed on Saturday that Disney acquire EA:

"In a bold call in Saturday’s Heard On The Street column, the Wall Street Journal proposed that Disney (DIS) ought to buy Electronic Arts (ERTS). The piece note that the timing is right, after a significant earnings miss last week knocked down the video game publisher’s stock 18% on Friday. The piece concludes that “Disney would be gutsy to step up during the current economic uncertainty. But it might be better than waiting for better times and paying top dollar.”"

It's just a theory, but the fact that EA owns a large series of sports video games (including Madden) and that Disney owns ESPN, it could be an interesting mash up.

I personally don't know how much control Disney would have over EA but I'm pretty sure most gamers don't want to see "Snow White" in a future installment of the Command & Conquer series :P.
