Microsoft doesn't really need the money, so I think that they'd rather sit on it for the tiniest possibility that they'll make another one.

You realize Nintendo is sitting on like 5-10 billion dollars in pure cash, right?

That isn't counting money invested in current game development or studios. They could easily buy these ips and it wouldn't impact other games development, instead it would add to their exclusive ip.

You do realize they are a business right?

Yea, which should tell them that there is an insane demand for Banjo 3 amongst the old school fans and it would easily sell 1 million, making it profitable.

"Insane" source?

Also lets not forget... Nintendo would have to not only buy back those two IPs which I am sure would cost them over a few million but also they have to develop the game... Vs... Using that money to make a new IP or invest on an IP they already own...
