[Idiot]

For a start Mushlafa, there is no evidence of:

1: A breakdown between Nintendo and Rare.

2: The Stamper Bros, having any campaign to break away from Nintendo.

3: The Stamper Bros, can afford to buy out Nintendo's 45% stake in the company.

4: Rare has little chance of developing into a major softco. (Due to the dependance on Nintendo for a finnancialy safe infastructure.)

5: Rare games are an aqquired taste at times. Would Rare survive independent for long with it's essentialy British portfolio.

On another note, consider this: The Stamper Bros are worth £90. Nintendo provides Rare with financial, coding, creative, hardware and liscence support. Would you gamble this by going independent and a high probability of losing it all. Would you do that Mushlafa. I would probably think not.
