Know what would be good? if you actually read the actual statment before talking about things that nintendo never said. Put simple: nintendo never said anything about buying or merging with another gaming companies. They were talking about companies to help them in the Qol Bussiness, that's all.


You don't have to be rude or sarcastic in your tone. It's not like this discussion is causing you (or shouldn't be at least) a massive headache. That being said, do you have any proof that they were specifically talking about QoL when they mentioned the merger idea? I read that stuff when it was brand new and I don't recall there being a mention of QoL. Is that an implication you derived from said article?

Also, even if that is all that statement was meant to imply at the time doesn't mean that is all Nintendo would ever consider.

No, this is a implication that I got from the actual source of the article:

Read question 6 and the answer.

I think its pretty clear what iwata said and what he didn't.

Sorry if i was too harsh, but when people spread misinformation about nintendo, it really get on my nerves because them they start to use flawed arguments that make nintendo fans look stupid, and this is not really a good thing.

Besides,acquiring a big studio don't seems like something nintendo would do. Myamoto said some times that hiring more people is not the answer to producing more games, that people need to instruced and educated on how to make nintendo games, and this can't be done with big hirings.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
