Apple has a $200 billion war chest, should it buy Nintendo and Sega?

FYI Apple has 170 Billion in cash reserves, not 200.

It's $206 billion as of last October:

And probably larger now because they just posted the highest profit in corporate history for the Oct-Dec period of $18+ billion in those three months. 

That's not how it works. Just because they post a profit doesn't mean their cash increases.
