MS wanted to buy Nintendo. The company that has so much money on hand that they are a noticable thing to the japanese banking sector?

Of all possible companies they were looking at buying? Heck, Sony might be more realistic by comparison, at least their gaming/console parts!

It’s really hard for humans to imagine things at that scale, but Microsoft is so many orders of magnitude larger than Nintendo that whatever Microsoft (and other mega tech companies like Apple and Google) does the entire global international finance system feels it.

And of all the hubris to want to rock up to a company that is over 125 years old and still going strong to tell them you would know better how to run their company than them.

Sony is worth more than twice as much as Nintendo.

I mean, judging from the quotes, even MS considered it pretty unlikely back when the email is sent.

What’s your point? Microsoft is easily several times bigger and is a “noticeable thing” in pretty much every country.
