It's bound to happen. I'm leaning towards Microsoft since I think they have more money.

Give it 10 or 20 years. Look what happen to Star Wars. If someone offered Nintendo like 2 billion or whatever they'd take it. That's big money.

They tried to before the OG Xbox and Nintendo said no.

Microsoft have built up their own gaming division now. It's not worth making Nintendo their most expensive acquisition of all time when they're just a games company.

If the ROI is worthwhile and money to be made it'll happen. That's the business world. Bill Gates will do whatever it takes if he sees profit.

@Austin_Era_II Do you just make shit up as you go? Nintendo is worth more than Sony. How could they possibly buy them? MS can't afford them at all the way Switch is selling, hell even if it stops selling right now they would still be fine.....if anything 15 years of no profit and then we can talk about someone buying them....it's common sense really....

You don't know anything, lmao. You didn't know the worth of Nintendo being more than Sony. MS tried buying them and they denied them. You still think Bill Gates runs MS. You even contradict yourself with this post.

If Nintendo is making profits by itself already why would they sell themselves to make profit for others? You're only looking at it from the MS point of view.

Do yourself a favor and check how much Pokemon Go and Fire Emblem Heroes both make globally and then come back and post that answer here. Then ask yourself if you really see them dying or selling themselves in 20 years.

You know what? I don't think I ever noticed the similarities between Donkey Kong and King Kong. I mean sure in the movie no one is Ju ping over barrels. But the whole set up is very similar.

I mean it kinda makes me rethink the entire New Donk City tbh...

My entire understanding of the world is unraveling.

You guys are all high.
While I think TC is trolling, both Sony and Microsoft both have higher Net Worths than Nintendo, and both have higher year over year profits.

Nintendo has a net worth of roughly 40 Bil.
Sony has a net worth of roughly 75 bil.
Microsoft has a net worth of roughly $150 bil.

Come on guys.

Doesn't matter.
I'm talking the companies as a whole.
Nintendo, as a whole, has a much lower net worth than both Sony or Microsoft.

I wasn't trolling and I already was referring to companies as a whole. People here acting like Nintendo is worth more. I'm too lazy to look up facts right now to prove people wrong. I got better things to do. Anyways Nintendo eventually will sell I strongly believe cause Microsoft or Sony can take them to the next level. They'll be flat lining in sales eventually without any new gains. Corps wanna see gains not a steady flow of the same profit each year.

King Kong actually throws a barrel of flammable material in the 1976 version. It's probably just a coincidence though.

Nintendo will own Nintendo. They make enough money to stay afloat, and they're probably still swimming in enough of that sweet Wii money to take a loss here and there.

If anything, their union with Microsoft will make both companies stronger.

Well, that's because Nintendo only does games, while the others are into more industries.

Nintendo has more cash on hand than they know what to do with. Their next 3 systems could flop hard and they could pick themselves back up as though nothing happened.

You do realize big mergers happen. Eventually a big Corp realizes it's better to sell cause the other Corp will help it make a lot more money.

Yeah and if it did happen it would likely be from a Japanese conglomerate.

Y'know like what happened to Sega.
