There is this story how Microsoft wanted/wants to buy Nintendo but was laughed out of the room. Is nintendo not a stock company? Couldnt Microsoft just buy 51% of all the shares? From what Ive seen the biggest shareholder is a japanese bank with 17%. Its not like somebody already owns the half.

There is a supply curve for stocks. Some people might be willing to sell for $1 while others wouldn’t sell for anything under $100.
While the market price of a stock might be $50 it doesn’t mean that everyone (or even 50% of shareholders) is happy selling at that price.
