As part of the FTC documents, a lot of information regarding XBOXs next generation console and the XBOX Series Refresh consoles has leaked. Alongside that private emails from Phil Spencer discussing acquiring Nintendo as a Career Move:
Guys, I’m starting to think this whole “Good Guy Phil” persona is pure marketing bullshit.

Too bad for him, there are Japanese laws restricting foreign entity from acquiring and owning Japanese companies. This will be a massive hurdle for Microsoft to overcome.

Overtly telling in regards to their actual intentions that Spencer thinks his career moment wouldn’t be some sort of actual achievement in the gaming sphere, but an acquisition of Nintendo. Nintendo has its issues certainly, but Microsoft is purely a blight on the medium.
Thankfully, saying “It’s just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware.” 4 months after New Horizons is utter delusion, so thats a nice sign in regards to their actual capabilities lmao

Thank god that never happened.

These emails were made before they went after ABK. After seeing all the headache involved with their current acquisition, I doubt they pursue this or Valve any further. I don’t even think Nintendo would be interested.

Nintendo would just laugh at them and tell them to get the fuck out like back in the 90s.

I also want to buy Nintendo, and am equally likely to.
