Classic Nintendo arrogance. There haughtiness is even more pathetic when you realize...
The Nintendo 64 underperformed
The GameCube was their worst-selling home console to date, and apparently barely broke even.
The Wii U tanked and the 3DS sold only about half of the units of the DS and even fell short of the GBA. All this after the titanic double threat of the DS and Wii.
Nintendo would laugh even if their hardware was failing and the same proposition was made. As long as they have billions in the banks and keep their executives rich, that's all that matters to them. I don't think Nintendo will be bought out. I just think they'll eventually stop making hardware in the 2030s or 2040s and move over to PCs and smart devices. |
They must be doing something right to have those billions in the bank. They are the only video game company to have survived in the hardware space continuously since 1983. Besides the Wii U, Nintendo has always managed to make a profit of their hardware regardless of whether it sells 20 million or 100 million units. Look at the PS3 which sold over 80 million units, but initially wiped out all of the profit made from the PlayStation and PS2 combined. Why wouldn't Nintendo be more interested in their bottom line than anything else?
