Microsoft wants to buy Nintendo

[Dark Samurai]

Whole Story

HA! Nintendo will never be sold to M$.

Nintendo is not for sale!

Maybe they'll go for Sony?

I wouldn't doubt if they sold. I mean you give someone enough money and they'd shoot themself in the foot... Greed .... ugh..

Bah, stupid monopolist M$.
If they want, we can work together. But you will never OWN us!

They tried to buy nintendo before the GC and Xbox came out. and its not like Nintendo came right out and said NO!

nintendo had even said they gave it serious thought, but figured they could do better buy themselves.

If MS keeps tryin, i believe nintendo will give in sooner or later. and honestly, it would be a pretty smart move for both companies.

Someone is certainly invested in 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

So they have owned a gaming console for 100+ years ? My hats off to them for their innovative ways back ? through 1904.. Congrats to them.. Again if enough money anyone would sell.
