Could Apple + Nintendo Actually Be A Thing In the Future?

If it goes well, I can see apple buying Nintendo, especially if the NX doesn't do well.

Japan doesn't usually ever let foreign companies buy Japanese companies.  Japan is very protective of their companies and Nintendo would never agree to be bought out by Apple.  Did you miss that recent thread that states Nintendo has about 9.5 billion in the bank with pretty much zero debt?

Nintendo used to have that much. They now have around $4.6 billion in their bank. It's when you include assets they are worth more.

Secondly, just because you have $4.6 billion it doesn't mean you can be cavalier with it. There are still shareholders to please and if Apple is offering a way to bring in more money then why not? 

 

I agree with the Japanese buy out thing though. It is unlikely unless, but when things get desperate you never know.
