Excellent news!

Microsoft shopping = Success!

Let's hope and dream together:

- They buy Yahoo (getting stronger search engine marketshare)
and/or
- They buy Nintendo (getting all the IP and the studios)
and/or
- They buy SCE (only the Playstation division (with debts), the one that Sony probably don't want anymore)
and/or
- They buy SquareSoft (bringing all games exclusively to Xbox360, canceling FF13 and Vs on the PS3, creating a Megaton in Japan)

Gates + Ballmer = Power to do everything.

Nintendo is worth $38 billion, so it would cost at least $40 billion + for Microsoft to buy it. Money they don't have.

 

oh yeah...they were offering more money than that to yahoo, but they cant afford that??....

 

They were offering half cash half MS stock for Yahoo. When a deal is done that way the premium increases as the risk of selling is higher. Yahoo was worth less than half as much as that.
