Bill Gates wants to buy Nintendo - briefly
(hx) 12:37 AM CEST - Aug,05 2004 - Post a comment / read (3)
Game Over at CNNMoney has a take on Microsoft's Nintendo ambition:

Founder and chairman Bill Gates has expressed interest in buying game giant Nintendo should the company put itself on the market, reports German magazine Wirtschafts Woche. "If Hiroshi Yamauchi calls, he will be directly transferred to me," the magazine quotes Gates as saying at an unspecified analyst conference. Yamauchi is the former president of Nintendo and still owns a stake in the company.

The column then makes the case for saying that is one thing that will most likely will never happen:

"It would be a great investment," said Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs for Nintendo. "We're a very successful company. But the bad news for Mr. Gates is we're not for sale."

Its all part of the assimilation process. Everything has a price, so don't try to fight it.
