Default Re: Microsoft wants to buy Nintendo

Actually, all of Nintendo doesn't have to make a decision. Yamauchi still holds the most shares of Nintendo and all he has to do is one day call Mr Gates and say "Heres my Nintendo stock" and then MS will basically own Nintendo. But it was mentioned somewhere else that the Yamauchi family has had its stake in Nintendo for over a century so its unlikely he will sell anyways.

But I think EA and MS need to stop buying companies UNLESS that company is going bankrupt, in the case of Eidos and Acclaim, etc...Just buying random companies doesn't sit well with me unless both sides agree its a good thing. EA is becoming the Microsoft of the gaming industry and Microsoft is already the Microsoft of X thing
