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.

I want to add to the answers here that I once read there was a law in Japan preventing such entire company buyouts, which is one of the reasons why they’ve struggled to acquire much Japanese content. I think they’ve tried SEGA before.
