Is Nintendo even remotely interested in being purchased?
They've existed since 1889. They pretty much decided to stop following the industry and just keep doing their own thing back when the wii came out.
Something in me doubts they are strapped for cash. They own Mario, Pokemon, and a lot more. And you don't make ridiculous consoles unless you're in a position to gamble.
Nintendo has $15B in cash and the company is worth $51B.
And Microsoft has twice that cash-on-hand if they wanna get wacky with it and break some anti-trust laws that aren't enforced anymore.
The Japanese government would not allow one of the country's most cherished brands sold off to one of the worst stewards to gaming's intellectual property value.
