I don't know if I should even bother to reply to this one.

10.5b is not much, since Nintendo's direct competitor makes double the amount in a year. Ninntendo could be bought by ms, if they really wanted to.

Due to the huge stake old man Yamauchi still has in Nintendo stock, it would likely be impossible.

When he dies, perhaps...

Do you have a source for that information? Preferrably one which shows how much he owns today. Last one I remember seeing was that he owned 10% but that was in 2007.

Huh, i had assumed it was larger than that.

Still, Japanese companies are nigh-impossible to run a hostile takeover against, with the way investor relations are different in that country. Nintendo would have to be weakened to the point that they would be willing.

I posted a link above while 10% doesn't seem to be that much it is still over 14million shares. And as for his death it depends on the will, he could return the share back to the company to bequife them all to someone, I doubt they will find their way back into the market.
