    From CNN

    I don't believe it, and I hope it won't happen. Nintendo has grown fairly weak over the years, but not TOO weak.

    Nintendo isn't interested in selling itself, so it isn't going to happen.

    Nintendo would NEVER lets Sony or Microsoft buy them. They would go 3rd Party before doing that.

    I think if Microsoft ever bought out Nintendo the name would not die becouse Microsoft would use it to sell more :D Microsoft Nintendo.

    Haven't Microsoft already bought Rare?

    Anyway, I don't think Microsoft would stop Nintendo's production. The move would be money-orientated of course.

    They bought Rare, and they were going to buy Vivendi Universal a year ago.

    The only reason the 'Cube isn't doing to well is because of the lack of 3rd Party support.

    um, i might be the only one here, but i think bill has enough money. he needs to calm down to see what happens with nintendo first, and if it starts to go under, then he can buy it.

    Bill Gates doesn't have enough money for Nintendo to give themselves up to Sony, of all things. Sony is like their enemy.

    Ok people, if you actually read the article, it says simply, "If Nintendo were to put themselves on the market, Microsoft would swiftly attempt to buy the company."

    And I don't think it's likely Nintendo will do that, but if they did, for whatever reasons, Microsoft would buy them no problem.
