Nintendo shouldn't outbid anybody.
This is what happens when 3rd parties don't support the leading platform correctly.
Nintendo was left alone on their own leading platform.
3rd parties everywhere just ended up owning themselves with their war of attrition, which actually affected them only.
Now it's too late. If MS 'buys' a developer, they both know what will happen.
Buying devs for them not to support the other loser can work, but when it's for not supporting the leader, it just doesn't. Both buyer and bought companies end up owning themselves.
Now all the 3rd parties can do is trip over themselves to catch up.
