How much would it cost for Microsoft to buy Nintendo?

[bmfrosty]

The question is not about the absurdity or lack of absurdity of premise, but for lack of knowledge on the math involved.

My gut says that it would be in the hundreds of billions, but I really don't know.

And I guess there are two inherent questions - friendly or hostile?

Just a thought experiment. Please don't go into Console War mode about this.

Im pretty sure its actually less than what they paid for Activision Blizzard. But would Nintendo actually sell is the question and the answer is no.
