Seriously though, I agree Nintendo could do something drastic with their money, but Take Two would be a big investment hard to make back, probably better to get something smaller.

I know exactly who Nintendo should be buying.

Sega

Note that they already have a superfranchise suited to making sports games - the Virtua games. Virtua Soccer, Virtua Gridiron, etc would fit right in.

There's many other benefits, much bigger than "they could make realistic sports games for Nintendo consoles", so it would definitely be worth it.

But Sega and Nintendo are already in good terms. What would be the benefit?

Full exclusivity, Nintendo having even more influence on design of Sonic titles, access to Sega's studios, a brand that would help to satisfy both Nintendo's desire for a family-friendly image and the desire to capture more of the teen/twentysomething male demographic (by having the "hardcore" stuff moved to the Sega brand and the "family friendly" stuff moved to the Nintendo brand), and the opportunity to revitalise Sega.

This would effectively shut down SEGA's growing PC business, though. Not saying it wouldn't ultimately work, but there are things to be figured out beforehand.
