I love how anytime a company isn't making profit, people think they're going to die off or be bought out.

People need to get over this total view of profit or death absolutism. Nintendo has gone from a 15% marketshare in consoles to top of the heap. And their handheld system alone has dominated the gaming industry over the last 15 years. They're not going to suddenly throw up their hands and say 'well screw it, might as well sell'.

Plus Apple is hardly anyone to buy Nintendo. Nintendo is a company that has comparable market value and products to Apple. I'd be more inclined to think Apple would be bought out before Nintendo.

I'm not disagreeing with your post in general, but you got your premise wrong... Nintendo IS making a profit, so they're not one of those companies.

 

Yeah, I worded that wrong.  Nintendo is making profit.  Its just had a substantial profit loss this year.  Even more reason Nintendo won't be bought out in my mind.  its not dying.  It just needs to fix some of its old products and bring in some third party support.
