Capcom arent even close to selling themselves off.

And it would be in parts. No one is going to buy Capcom, and then have to pay even more to restructure the entire company for profitability. The only thing ppl are going to want are IPs and even then, the likes of Nintendo and Sony arent going to buy a bunch of them up as much as fans of both would want them to.

If they do. I'd see Disney would try going whole. Or go for certain IP's. To keep MVC going.

Disney offed their gaming division. They arent sinking money into another company (who would have failed to be in this position to be bought)

Capcom abandoned their stock take over defenese plan back in 2014, which left them open to a potential buyout from another company. They were never close to going under, so the asking price was always going to be very high. Any company that was interested would have made a move by now. At the current market rates, you're looking at close to $1 billion for a majority stake in Capcom.

Sony is still in the process of restructuring, and they recently sold of their 8.25% stake in Square Enix. I doubt that Sony will be making another major game company acquisition any time soon. While Nintendo has enough in the bank, they are far too conservative to be contemplating such a move. Nintendo's company philosophy has always been based on internal growth and reinvention, so you're unlikely to see a major acquisition from them.

yeah sony does NOT really have the cash for such a big acqisition.

while nintendo is conservative, it has allowed them to stay afloat. if SEGA had done the same thing maybe they would have had enough money to actually push the dreamcast and not get pushed off.

Can't be determined unless that scenario comes into being as it's too complex to predict due to numerous factors.
