| Soundwave said: I think Nintendo will merge/acquire another company, but it's going to be something non-related directly to the game industry. Loosely tied to entertainment I guess. It will be a profitable company that provides Nintendo with new profit streams in other areas of business, which can carry them during periods where the game industry isn't doing so hot. Iwata would have a lot more cover right now from stockholders if he had another division that made anything -- ramen noodles, women's lingerie, an anime division ... whatever that was bringing in cold, hard profit at a good clip. |
I put it at 50:50. I think they will definitely do something. It could be non (traditional) gaming to go with their new focus; or something to increase software making capacity and focus on a broader demographic - something Iwata has acknowleded is an issue. I just prefer to talk about the gaming option, since ramen noodles bore me.
