No, but it misjudges various aspects of a merger that would make it seem not a great idea in the long term.
Nintendo is a publicly traded company, but I have no idea if there's enough shares on the market to achieve ownership, or if the Japanese government would allow a foreign company to make the final purchase. This articles suggestions are dubious.

2. Like any other opinion it's a discussion starter
The ghost of Yamauchi will never let a sell happenDidn't Nintendo basically tell Microsoft to go to hell when they asked to buy the company? Don't think they'd sell even if they could be bought
There aren't really that many options for how I could have phrased that :P
Nintendo owns some of the most valuable videogame franchises in the world—including Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong—and has a library of thousands of games across more than three decades in the business. While it continues to turn out wildly popular and well-reviewed games, Nintendo has struggled to gain traction beyond its home consoles. Apple has a few things to offer there: Think iPhone, Apple TV, iPad, and maybe even the Mac.
Imagine playing Switch,Super Nintendo, or old NES classics on any Apple TV or iPad with the simple addition of a wireless Bluetooth controller. Conveniently, the latest iOS devices use the same ARM-based processor chip technology found in Nintendo's Switch, making software conversions much easier.

The article reads like an ERA post from someone that had no idea what they were talking about.I went in thinking that they wouldn't get it as usual, but it turned out that they REALLY didn't get it... >_>
It's never going to happen, so speculating what the actual purchase price would be is pointless.Never going to happen but say Nintendo did agree to sell what would they go for? 100BN?
Now lacking features reserved for the Switch 3!
And a battery life that mysteriously tanks at almost the exact time that the next model is released.

I agree I doubt the Japanese government would let this deal go through. Unless Nintendo started to bleed as a company for years making them worth a fraction of what they were before.Nintendo is a publicly traded company, but I have no idea if there's enough shares on the market to achieve ownership, or if the Japanese government would allow a foreign company to make the final purchase.
