Nintendo doesn't have money to buy Rockstar(besides, it's not for sale, if you know what i mean), or even to buy exclusive rights for GTA 5(incl. temporary). 

Please don't make claims like this if you're going to pull it from your arse.

Nintendo Cash on Hand: $11.9 billion

Estimated value of Take Two (that's Rockstar's owner): $1.8 billion (that's equity + assets)

Nintendo could buy the entire publisher without breaking a sweat.

 

It would probably cost 3 or 4 Billion to buy Take Two, and Nintendo could do it, yes....but what would be the point?

Take Two is a multiplatform publisher that makes games that are meant for multiple systems.  Nintendo buying them would devalue Take Two, and eventually help drop Nintendo's own stock because they spent so much cash reserves on a company that can do them no good financially.

The financial logistics would make such a purchase stupid.

If anything purchasing ubisoft would be a smarter idea considering ubisoft is the most committed out of all the 3rd parties.

After both Watch Dog and Assassin's Creed 5 fails to sell on the Wii U, I think that will signal the end of Ubisoft's commitment.

Splinter Cell has already failed, and I'm sure Rayman will too, btw.

Rayman legends was a failure all around but yeah I agree about how ubisoft will drop support on the WII U.
