They are starting their downswing again. We have to wait to see what happens
That won't load for me, but I see the sentence how they are down this year from last, 3.25B vs 3.9B. That's not atypical, considering the Switch is at the end of it's life span. Normal revenue deviation that doesn't counter the fact that they are very rich.

I agree with most of this, but I think acquisitions of talented smallish studios can be a good thing. It's hard to imagine Nintendo without Retro.
This is true. A studio like Retro probably would never get off the ground without a big one like Nintendo bankrolling them. That makes sense for smaller acquisitions, but it becomes concerning when big publishers buy other big ones.

microsoft paid more for activision than nintendo is even worth lmao.

nintendo, while lucrative, is not worth that much in the global space. about 57b.
lol no. Nintendo is worth just shy of $100B. MS bought Activision Blizzard for $69B, all cash (nice). Market cap isn't the same as actual worth, and Japan doesn't use the rampant market speculation that America does to value index a company. It's the 3rd largest company in Japan.

People also seem to forget that it owns 1/3 of Pokemon, the most valuable IP in the world.
