it not gonna happen. If the worst situation happen (i.e. sony bankrupt, ofcourse), they gonna sell the game division to another firm, not NINTENDO :v


In that scenario, they will sell to the highest bidder.  They don't care who it is at that point.


LoL, you may be right, but I don''t think financial status of Nintendo dont allow them to become the highest bidder, plus they dont have enough reason to acquire Sony game division :)


By no means am I saying that you're wrong.

Thats a worrying thought. I dont think nintendo would know what to do with the more mature IPs sony has and the more mature-oriented sony studios.

Nintendo didn't buy Atlus when they had the chance. They let Sega buy it. Considering Nintendo sort of spawned Playstation I think they would be the last to buy it and or be sold to, assuming Playstation would only be sold to a Japanese Company. Its more likely that Playstation would go down with the Ship as its pretty integrated into Sony.

If any of the big 3 bought one of the other three they would have complete dominance over the console market.

Doesn't matter. A year later Nintendo would've run this division down too. It can't even handle its own divisions now.

How often is this thread going to get made? seriously


What would happen if Nintendo bought these threads?! :o Or if LJN bought Microsoft.... or If Iwata bought a subway sandwich! The thread possibilities are endless.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Then we'd never see those IPs again. I mean seriously, if a game isnt Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda, then Nintendo doesnt give a shit about it. Havent seen many new F-Zero, Starfox, or Metroid (and many more) games in years



I think MS or Sony buying out Nintendo is more likely than Nintendo buying out the either PlayStation or Xbox.
