It’s not possible for MS to just buy Nintendo since Nintendo is a JP company and there are a lot more red tape to get through. They’d have to get an approval from the Japanese government and all this other shit which I highly doubt the government would allow one of their most iconic companies (and third most valuable) to be swallowed up by a foreign company.
Not only that but MS had already tried buying them in the past and were laughed out of the room. Aside from throwing an unfeasible amount of money at them and hoping for the best, they have no luck. They can have very warm business relations but a buy out is just not likely to ever happen. Nintendo is far bigger than Zenimax. Nintendo is worth in the hundreds of billions when you figure in their assets and future revenue projections and even though MS might have the financial might to actually buy it, it’s extremely unlikely to ever happen. Microsoft would have an easier time buying Walt Disney.
