The article that states Nintendo bought it is just an opinion piece.

There is a article saying Nintendo bought them, but I guess it is not official yet. Sony will not buy them because they are probably not looking for aquisitions after closing amazing studios like Zipper and Psygnosys.

I doubt Ninty's really bought them or gonna buy them, but if they did.. I wouldn't mind.. I plan to get a 3DS and a Wii U. As long as it's not any western publisher, SE, or Microsoft, I'm good. Capcom would also suck.

It doesn't say that Nintendo adquired anything. It seems like an opinion article

I hope not. If Nintendo does buy Atlus then I can imagine a lot of people in this community going ape shit.

Aksys games?

I actually suspect if sold it wouldn't be bought by a games developer, but instead by another investment group.

 

The Persona series is.... neat and all, but it's not really worth the trouble of buying for a big publisher.

 

You only buy whole companies if they're selling a mega-franchise game, going bankrupt firesale or are an indie 1-studio dev who has a hit that they believe they can take to the next level.  Basically someone they can buy out for super cheap.
