“As Nintendo’s share price continues to plummet, it is fair to ask if they are an acquisition target,” observed Panoptic Management Consultants CEO Asif Khan to IndustryGamers. “With a market capitalization around $20 billion, there are a handful of tech companies that could afford to make an offer. Apple, Google, and Microsoft would be the leading candidates in my opinion. Another less likely outcome could be a merger with Panasonic or Sony as neither of those companies could afford to buy Nintendo outright.”
This article’s author, James Brightman, points out that no such plans are in place, nor have there even been rumors to suggest it might happen. But figuring out how Apple should spend its billions in cash seems to be favorite masturbatory pastime of just about every analyst out there, Asif Khan included.
