Forums - Nintendo Discussion - If Nintendo had to BUY one, which one?

 

If either go under, who would Nintendo buy?

PlayStation 110 70.97%
 
Xbox 45 29.03%
 
Total:155

Can Nintendo even afford Sony or Microsoft's gaming divisions ?

I don't think it would help if they bought either. Outside of increasing market share in EU with PS it wouldn't really be as big of a deal and most of the IPs won't fit Nintendo's style. If anything they should buy Sega. They got the IPs, the mascots, and sub companies that would bring the mature edge to Nintendo without ruining anything.

Plus they would own Atlus and the Bayonetta IP. It would be a match made in heaven.

Buyouts would be a waste of money all around, but they should do more collaborations.


Satoru Iwata &  Toshihiro Nagoshi above

Nintendo X Sega would be good for some games, F-Zero GX was one good joint project from them both.

Hiroshi Yamauchi & Roy O. Disney above

 

Nintendo X Disney could have some good ideas for animation and licensing collaborations.

Shigeru Miyamoto & Steven Spielberg above

 

Nintendo X Spielberg could create a great live action movie from the Zelda, Star Fox or Metroid universe.



Xbox so they can own Rare again



Castlevania Judgment FC:     1161 - 3389 - 1512

3DS Friend Code:   3480-2746-6289


Wii Friend Code: 4268-9719-1932-3069

Nintendo would just let them fade away like they did with so many others.

Nintendo dont need to buy Playstation.... all they need to do is steal some of their tallent away from them.
And spend a bit of $ on getting 3rd party onboard again.

This is what they did and still doing. Monolith is ex square employees who was working on FF. The relationship they have with Platinum, the owner is the original creator of DmC. All the original team of Rare are making Yokolaylay and have a nice relationship with Nintendo.
