Imagine how strong gamepass would be if they had all of Nintendo's offerings and Microsoft could bring Nintendo games to pc. It isn't all that bad for the Industry, if Microsoft actually does the impossible. On the other hand I doubt Nintendo is willing to sell for anything less than ABK.

God I wish, I despise having to buy Nintendo’s hardware for the small handful of games I like from them.

Considering the absolutely shitty way they've handled what they do have, it wouldn't make any difference. It wouldn't make Xbox any better and it would make Nintendo worse.

Microsoft should have been broken up in 2001.

I'm all for it, would love to play the Bayonetta games on good hardware!

I hope this never happens. The only reason Nintendo is successful and has great games is that they are able to do their own thing, distancing themselves from the general industry tendencies. This is obviously a double edge sword, but as a Nintendo fan the good things surpass the bad.

Being owned by Microsoft would fundamentally change the identity of Nintendo, and ultimately we would lose everything we like about them,

lol Never going to happen. Nice try though, Phil.

I can't believe there are actually people that think it would be a good idea if MS buys up Nintendo. That's the world nowadays, short term gains and me me me. MS tried to buy Nintendo before, it will never happen.

Most famously, Microsoft made a serious pitch to Nintendo to try to buy the company. That was first revealed in 2021 in a Bloomberg article that we reported on at the time. In short, Bloomberg got Kevin Bachus, Microsoft's former director of Xbox third-party relations, to admit that Ballmer made them go to Nintendo to see if they would like to be bought. Bachus said that instead, "They just laughed their asses off." Ouch.

Oh yeah, I don't care how it sounds, I care about what makes me happy versus everyone else, I could not care any less about what other people want, I'm not here for a long time, but indeed, a good time. But yes, we know Microsoft is not going to buy Nintendo, would be super dope tho 

Microsoft gaming makes more money year over year than the entire Nintendo corporation combined, and that’s before the ABK merger.

I don’t think Phil Spencer is taking crazy pills suggesting Nintendo is leaving money on the table. Basically every Nintendo first party can run on mobile phones, and the addressable market for iOS and android is billions of people.
