You do know Sony bought that cloud gaming service for over 300M dollars?

I'm talking about a 3rd party software company like Capcom, Square Enix, and Take Two, all worth slightly more than $300m.

Yes. But it's not like 300M is the most they would ever spend and Capcom is not not worth much more than that. Anyways all this will never happen as those companies are good becuase they're 3rd party.

1.4B.... yah it is worth "much more than that"; company values (or mark. cap) are not based on what random "gamers" think of them you know :)

Now for the hypothtical OP question:

Sony: Square (relationship)
Nintendo: Sega
Microsoft: Activision or at least Blizzard :) (because I love them!)

so approximately 700 million for 51% of shares. Still way past 300 million though.

Title says "Aquired" which implys an total aquisition but yah 700M would be enough to control :)
