There isn't much marginal benefit in Nintendo buying Atlus.

Nintendo won't be buying them because their franchise are way to niche and Nintendo only does mainstream pretty much. Their biggest game is demon's soul at 1.71mill and everything else is sub 1mill these are not numbers that could interest Nintendo

well nintendo seems to be supporting them, $30 promotion for FE and SMT IV and also FE x SMT.... so yeah!

that's a couple tens of million short from owning them
