When has Sony bought a publisher In recent memory? They literally bought a publisher before they released Playstation 1.
Stop your biased trolling crap or MS dick riding, which ever it is
Cerny is great. The rest of the decisions I worry about. Minimum effort from the rest of PS, they are riding the momentum of PS4

"Microsoft's (and more specifically the Xbox division and Phil Spencer's) obsession with acquisitions is so gross. That company is going to tear this industry down. They buy all these studios but can't seem to release a damn game. Meanwhile, Nintendo is releasing a genre-defining game like... once a year.The fact that he wrote this at the height of the Switchmania is truly the definition of hubris."
Great post.
I think Nintendo and like…Samsung are among the last of the major companies that still have family of founding/major members on the board or with stake. Just on a pride level I don’t see a sale happening.
Nintendo is also poised to be similar or bigger than Disney so investors would want to at least wait that out.

How is this any different from a hostile take over?In the first paragraph of the email, he talks about some ValueAct, a group who just bought a 1 BILLION stake in nintendo. The plan is already in motion but the folks over at resetera thinks MS was just saying a pipe dream
Quote from phil in the email
"The unfortunate (or fortunate for Nintendo) situation is that Nintendo is sitting on a big pile of cash, they have a BoD (board of directors) that until recently has not pushed for further increase in market growth or stock appreciation,” he reported to his colleagues Chris Capossela and Takeshi Numoto. “I say ‘until recently’ as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo (...) and I’ve kept in touch with Mason Morfit [ValueAct’s CEO, editor’s note] as he’s been acquiring. It’s likely he will be pushing for more Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us.”
Quote from another forum poster.
"So step one would be inserting people (or even themselves) into the Nintendo BOD and then using those people to influence from within. The biggest issue in this situation is the fact that it's come to light via Spencer's email that Mason Morfit is not working alone (in that he's not acting solely on the best interests of ValueAct), Spencer is using him as a Proxy to gain influence over the Nintendo board with the end goal of softening them up to the ideal of a deep partnership/collaboration with Microsoft (or even a buyout).
My feeling is that the wheels are already in motion, especially considering how quick Nintendo were to sign that Activision deal.
Alarm bells should be ringing at Nintendo HQ, the imposters are likely already in place."
EXCLUSIVE-ValueAct eyes Nintendo with stake of over $1.1 bln -letter

is not going to tear this industry down. is going to destroy Xbox from inside. and isn't this outcome what everyone wants?
is funny to see how some people are so scared and triggered by MS/ Xbox's acquisitions but the fact of the matter is that all these moves (Game Pass, Acquisitions-consolidation)
are coming from a place of desperation and weakness; from a company that has show a total incompetence over the years.
Xbox is going to face the hardest time in their entire history, it's going to be a complete clustefuck.
wow.... this is low. microsoft is a joke looking to ruin all of gaming
Phil Spencer in 2020: "getting [acquiring] Nintendo would be a career moment for me"; Nintendo's future "exists off of their own hardware"
Yeah, uh... It may be because I'm not into his personality cult to begin with, but I don't think this makes him look particularly bad, either. OF COURSE he would buy either of these two companies if the chances presents itself. Does anyone here think the same wouldn't apply for Sony (if they...

You can't take this xbotz bootlicker seriously, the moment he acted like we insulted his cult leader idiot phil

Shills assemble! Ambassadors Unite.
Im looking forward to the day that the shills get expoosed. And everyone can see who works for ms/xbox/phil etc
I wonder if the Nintendo diehards will realize that Xbox are not their allies after this.
This idiot is only good at PR (and creating cultSeriously how tf is this guy a CEO of a billion dollar company? He runs Xbox like he's just winging it and putting stuff together at the absolute last second, and he emails other executives like they're working on a middle school group projectGood lord.
