If it is the Nintendo Playstation 5 (after buying Sony), I woud buy it.

Yeah...... because Nintendo can totally afford buying Sony....

 

OT: If they get a proper account system, and achievements then yes! (I might buy it anyways, but this would certainly help.)

they can afford to buy half of Sony to get control by just using the cash they have on hand.  If Sony wanted to buy anything they'd have to borrow the money.

Nintendo has 5,34 BN in cash reserves, Sonys market cap (value of all shares in total) is 20,15 BN so no, Nintendo can't afford buying half of Sonys shares, even if they spent ALL of their cash on it. Sony on the other hand has 8,08 BN cash reserves (not to mention the 148,93 BN worths of assets theyhave) while Nintendos market cap is only 16,62 BN  so in fact Sony is much closer to afford buying Nintendo than Nintendo is close to buying Sony. This also ignores that both companie currently have something called a buyout defense in place which avoids them being bought out buy anyone.

It helps to check facts before you post stuff like that.
