Your're right I'm young and I don't know how it works, but I do know that Sony has a Movie business, a Phone business, a Music business and you're telling me that they can't buy Nintendo still? I don't think so.

That's exactly what I'm telling you. 

Even if you could consoldiate enough shares to own a controlling or majority interest (good frikkin luck no matter who is buying), the cost would exceed $30 billion.  Sony only has $8.752 billion in cash and cash equivalents.  Further, their credit rating is Junk Status (that's the official term, by the way) meaning they would get charged a massive interest rate to borrow the remaining funds to cover the sale.  A rate that Sony's own investors would not be willing to pay and in truth they'd never get approved for that size of a loan anyway.

Wow so only the giants like Google, Apple or Microsoft could buy them. Which sucks because neither three are good at the gaming market imo.
