And so why doesn't Nintendo buy more studios?

 

To be fair, they opened Sora and R & D 5 recently.

Nintendo is a conservative company, who doesn't just buy like 7 studios this year and sell them all 2 year later. They slowly expand their company not to create to much overcosts and keep a tight ship in the wind.

That' for sure, but I think a new studio, especially a western one, ma be a good purchase, especially in a period where a lot of teams are struggling. They could have bouht Free Radical or Factor 5 for example.

Also wasn't 10 billion what Microsoft had sitting around and was considered a big deal? Or was that 50 billion?

We haven't seen anything from Sora or R&5 yet.

And I don't see why they couldn't buy one maringally large studio. Like a Free Radical or Bizarre Creations.

Hell, they could even buy Grasshopper or VanillaWare.

I think it was closer to the latter. But Microsoft is a much bigger company than Nintendo, if you calculate something like Cash per Employee, I'm pretty sure Nintendo "wins".

Well yeah there was that one arcile where like each Nintendo Employee made the company over a million in a year.  Yet got paid much less.

most of the money ends up with top executes with that amount of money they would give janitors thousands a year.

as employee working on a company Sony > microsoft > nintendo.
