For all those who say Nintendo should buy this or that studio or publisher, you do realize that the great majority of mergers and acquisitions fail to deliver the results set for the merger/acquisition? Corporate cultures are often times incompatible, the management may not share the same vision, differences in work and business processes cause loads of problems, and the list goes on. It's a very rare exception that a merger or acquisition delivers 100% of what was expected, and those cases are the ones where the whole deal has been painstakingly planned and all preparation work has been done right, and there is a substantial amount of luck present. Just going out buying companies is a sure fire way to get into heaps of trouble.
