I agree Nintendo won’t be bought anytime soon. I just thought it was funny considering Xbox just spent the entire value of Nintendo as a whole in a day.
Microsoft are more likely to invest in Nintendo and keep them around rather than take them over and risk the ire of the monopolies commission in pretty much every country.
When will people learn Nintendo aren’t even trying to compete with MS / Sony, they’re not in a position to even want to sell, and a hostile takeover is all but impossible.
partner maybe, buy no, nintendo is a japanese company and japanese are very proud especially when it comes to selling something from them, microsoft tried to buy nintendo in the past that was kind of down in the market and they just laughed at the proposal
I still say Sony has the better first party studios. Based on track record of quality. Microsoft is just using money to purchase properties instead of coming up with them.
Microsoft went to buy them and said they were laugh at all during the presentation years ago. Time may change but with the Switch making it rain and their IPs being this strong at the moment, not gonna happen.

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen.
Lol nope.

Yeah… it’s more like Baby Yoda force choking Xbox. Nintendo has its own theme park. No one is “buying” them.
Microsoft are more likely to invest in Nintendo and keep them around rather than take them over and risk the ire of the monopolies commission in pretty much every country.
They tried to do that a long time ago, and Nintendo laughed at them. You think this is going to change?

I think Take-Two is a more likely candidate.
There’s a whole lotta IP’s just under the Rockstar brand in there alone.

Yeah right. Not any time soon.
Lol what are you smoking because I think that shit is too strong
Not in a billion years
They actually wanted to do this around the time of the original Xbox, Nintendo said great idea but we aren’t for sale.
For those that aven’t paid attention. They tried. They were laughed out the room.
And with how things are that ain’t changing.
Like them collabing together though. Like Banjo coming back around.
Only if Nintendo agreed to sell. And I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
Nope
They tried that once, the Microsoft executive that was meant to seal the deal was laughed out of the building.
Nintendo consoles combined, has more than double the sales of every Xbox combined. Also Nintendo made a few extremely popular franchises.
This is laughable. Nintendo is a huge corporations and a successful one too.
One time they actually tried doing that. Nintendo laughed at their request.
Yeah this ain’t happening.
Lol that is funny AF Nintendo has enough money to laugh at Microsoft on the daily or outright buy them
Microsoft went to buy them and said they were laugh at all during the presentation years ago. Time may change but with the Switch making it rain and their IPs being this strong at the moment, not gonna happen.
Weird flex but ok
Won’t happen. Japanese government would never let it.
Haha Nintendo already laughed off that idea years ago.
But wait, NINTENDO PICKED UP A STEEL CHAIR
That’ll probably never happen
Japan would not allow it.
Lol fat chance they could afford Nintendo
Lmaoooo Nintendo is in no fear of the brobox
