Lmao. I really don't think this means much, as companies practically discuss about acquiring everyone and of course Microsoft would love if they got Nintendo but it's still a funny conversation to see. It can only happen if Nintendo wanted to sell and they don't so it's just a funny fantasy but it seems Microsoft may be interested in purchasing stock in Nintendo? Also they were considering WBIE and Zenimax at the same time, as in, acquiring them both, Lol. Not Phil saying that Nintendo's future exists off of their hardware! No fucking way, Lol. Nintendo's got the most interesting hardware. So much so that Xbox is basically planning an Xbox Switch according to these documents, Lmao. Also it's irrelevant, regulators would block a merger within a week of it being announced, all they could do is stock purchases up to a certain point. |
In the context of where Microsoft is trying to position itself in gaming going forward his comments about Nintendo make sense I think. There is no reason nintendo games can’t run on iOS and android devices, and combined with PC the potential for exponential software sales growth is there.
it is worth noting that MS gaming yearly revenue intake is larger than Nintendo’s as a whole company despite having small fraction of the console marketshare that Nintendo has . The idea that Nintendo is leaving money on the table is not completely outlandish
