No, I would've said it if I did

You mean they made an exclusive deal with Rockstar? Awesome.

Hey Skidonti, did you hear that they blew through $6 billion in just two years!?

They spent $6 billion of it in just 24 months. So many hookers, so much blow...

I think you missed the part where he politely (and subtly) told you your opinion has zero value.

Politely. And subtly.

ok. great news from nintendo except they didnt reveal any planms to buy capcom lol

ew not crytek plox

So yeah they don't have unlimited money. Another bomb like the Wii U and they are in massive trouble.

Yes we should only talk about their money in yen because they only do business in Japan right?

Actually when you look at debt, Nintendo is in FAR better shape now than in 2010. They must really be cleeaning their financial house.

Oh, and respectfully, anyone who thinks that Microsoft would ever buy Nintendo is bordering on total insanity. Microsoft as an entity is not closely tied to gaming, it's just not one of their fundamental pillars. If Xbox was a solo company that someone created with a moderate cash investment, it would have been shuttered long ago. Common sense wise, XBO will be the final entry of theirs into the console market due to the financials making no sense. Microsoft is a western corporation used to truly massive margins and economies of gargantuan scale. Their Xbox plan was built around this kind of ethos. Xbox is not Nintendo, they cannot profit in a niche market space. Even during the 360 years, they lost around 3.5 billion in the totality of 2005 through 2012. Their immense losses were never covered by their small profits on the tail end of the gen. And OG Xbox of course cost them a ton to get their foot in the door (which is understandable to some extent, however continuing to be a net loss after more than a decade of activity and the abdication of the entire vision of the XBO is pretty much the nails in the coffin for Xbox as a whole).

It's really a matter of time now, not a question of 'if'. Microsoft is not a charity, and they don't care about, nor depend upon the gaming sector. The same can be said of any gaming company. Sony didn't make the PS4 because #4thegamers, they made it to make money. They simply did a better job than Microsoft of achieving their goals. If XBO doesn't magically jump-start to massive success (their XBO business model probably depends on 100M+ install base to break even over a 7 year generation), you can expect to see XBO put in a 'holding pattern' model where they don't invest in it more than a minimal amount, and eventually the directive will get out for EOL on XBL and wrapping up of company obligations, liquidation or vaulting of IPs, etc.

You're not a fan of Free Radical and Vigil? I am, and I think they would compliment Nintendo's existing studios perfectly. Goldeneye U anyone? 

Well, considering revenues have halved, what they have maintained is impressive. But you also have to understand you are looking at a video game company that is going to have WILD variations if a single console doesn't work out great. The decrease in last year is almost completely from stock repurchases.

Crytek is a company known for great visuals and underwhelming gameplay. It perfectly suits pc where it already is.
Nintendo is like, the exact opposite. A company Nintendo should buy would be sega, capcom...you know, studios who have a lot of creativity and assets, but are lacking in leadership and focus.
