If I'm doing the maths correctly - Nintendo's current worth is somewhere around $40BN?

Like, that's a lot of money, even for Apple, and then I'm not sure Nintendo would want to sell?

Nintendo definitely wouldn't want to sell but it's publicly traded so a hostile takeover is always in the cards

Japan government would for sure exercise their golden power if someone tries an hostile takeover on any big national corporation like Nintendo.
