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.

The Japanese government would honestly try to legally stop that from happening and might name Nintendo a company of significant cultural importance to protect it.
Have you ever seen in movies a developer trying to buy land for a development, only for a single land owner to refuse to sell unless paid absurdly high price? Well, the more shares Microsoft buys, the more current shareholders will have a similar idea.
