MS really doesn't have the money anyway.
Nintendo's market cap right now is like 55 billion. But you can't buy a company just for the market cap, they would have to overpay by a large amount to get shareholders to budge on selling, especially since Nintendo has a hot product in Switch right now.
So you're talking more like 75 billion .... MS has about 125 billion in cash, but that would eat up more than half their cash reserve.
That would be a monumentally stupid purchase, they kill their cash hoarde just to have more .... video games.
Nadella (MS CEO) and all the board of directors would be fired for such a grossly irresponsible move.
