I guess the reason these articles keep popping up every few years is that people will never be satisfied with Nintendo being "different" and not conforming to standards in hardware, software or services, so they want someone to go in and fix them.
TBH if any company ever ended up buying Nintendo, I would much rather they make use of that extra support in order to go in even weirder oddball directions, rather than try to become "normal".
If you want a more mainstream experience just buy a Wii and a 360, it's still cheaper than what a hypothetical "Pippiin" would cost you 
Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!
