It might be a good move for Apple to broaden their horizons. However, I do not see them being able to purchase Nintendo or Sega. Both companies have conservative management and quite conservative shareholders that will not accept a buyout or takeover offer by a foreign company. In addition, there is a high chance that the Japanese government would intervene (they have a history of doing so, especially when it comes to symbolic and/or historical businesses) even a takeover was agreed to by the management and/or shareholders.
Apple's best chance with Sega and Nintendo would probably be to form a partnership with them that makes them exclusive developers for their platform. With that being said though, Apple might be better off looking to acquire Western companies because there are far fewer barriers that they would have to deal with.
