Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Yes I realize that, you're applying if they got brought by apple they would produce expensive underpowered stuff, Im just pointing out Nintendo does this already with their hardware, so not much difference

Apple might benefit, but I think Nintendo and Nintendo gamers would suffer.

Your're right I'm young and I don't know how it works, but I do know that Sony has a Movie business, a Phone business, a Music business and you're telling me that they can't buy Nintendo still? I don't think so.

That's exactly what I'm telling you. 

Even if you could consoldiate enough shares to own a controlling or majority interest (good frikkin luck no matter who is buying), the cost would exceed $30 billion.  Sony only has $8.752 billion in cash and cash equivalents.  Further, their credit rating is Junk Status (that's the official term, by the way) meaning they would get charged a massive interest rate to borrow the remaining funds to cover the sale.  A rate that Sony's own investors would not be willing to pay and in truth they'd never get approved for that size of a loan anyway.

Wow so only the giants like Google, Apple or Microsoft could buy them. Which sucks because neither three are good at the gaming market imo.

If Apple bought nintendo... what would happend is they would pull out of the console market.

All nintendo IP (games) would end up on Mac(PC) & iOS (phones).
