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. |
There's a reason why I didn't suggest that they *should* buy Take Two. I only countered the assertion that Nintendo doesn't have enough money to buy it. I have no problem with people saying that it would be inadvisable for Nintendo to try to buy Take Two - I agree, in fact, and think that obvious choices for Nintendo would be Ubisoft, Sega, or a heap of independent studios, rather than a publisher like Take Two. But there's a difference between asserting an opinion on what Nintendo should do, and asserting something to do with solid facts like what Nintendo is capable of doing, their money, etc.
