"Enough to buy companies like Capcom or Ubisoft."

You do realize that buying a company isn't just as simple as going up to them as taking them over right? Even if either of those companies were willing to accept a buyout, the assets and the total cost of both of those companies would basically cripple Nintendo's financials...

What they need to do is make the most amount of profit with the least amount of spending while making the people that own a wiiU happy. They shouldn't pay third parties anything nor should they bother buying out huge companies such as Capcom or Ubisoft (specially not ubisoft, Jesus, that would be terrible). They should work with third parties for their next console and listen to them as to what they want so that when Nintendo launches their next console, it can have third party support.

Nintendo knows that they will be in last place this gen no matter what, there is no point is burning tons of cash while doing so. You really have to look at it from a business sense dude


I know that it will basically put a dent in Nintendos wallet and financials to buy such huge companies but I used the example to show how much money they have. As for the part about Ubisoft, that was also to show how much money they have. I do not like ubisoft so I would rather Nintendo buy another company.

IMO, I think they can turn it around. Ninty showed how the Wii U can gain momentum from one game which was MK8. The Wii U has potential but it is not being used. The Wii U is a great system and many owners will agree. I see as the price being a little high but Nintendo needs to make a profit as well. 

Well alright, tell me something then, how much Money does Nintendo have? And How much money will it cost to buy Capcom or Ubisoft cause imo, you either greatly overestimate Nintendo's Bank or underestimate Capcom/Ubisofts worth or both.

And I really don't think they can bring back the wiiU cause if you look at it, one of the main reasons why the ps4 is selling so high is because it has all the definitive versions of all the multi-plat third party titles so even if Nintendo would pay all the third parties to make games for them, another issue would be that the wiiU version will be the lowest in terms of perfomance/graphics just based on the hardware limitation alone. And if they do a price cut to say $200, they would be losing money which again, is bad for the company.

Remember, hardware sales isn't everything if you can make a decent profit. Its also about the future as well so putting all their cash into reviving the wiiU probably won't be the best idea. The wiiU already has a really bad stain on the eye of the public and getting that trust back would cost them a fortune which would be better spent on their next gen console.
