It would make sense at some point for Microsoft to spin out xbox as a seperate company. They could capitalize it with some of their huge cash reserves, which the new company could use to buy Nintendo. Xbox the Company supplies the hardware and OS smarts, Nintendo supplies the good games. Thats my dream, but it probably won't happen until Nintendo crashes and burns with their next console launch.
Keep in mind in the mid 90s Apple was considered a dead company. Michael Dell famously said the best thing they could do is give their cash reserves to shareholders and shut down the company, stock was in the low $20s then. Now the company is one of the top 5 most valuable companies in the world and Dell is almost invisible.
Microsoft is in a similar position now, its almost irrelevant in the world. Yeah everyone runs Windows but nobody really cares about it and its just something you put up with, people are more passionate about their phones and gaming consoles and browsers than their OS. Who knows what the future will bring and if Microsoft can survive and thrive, hopefully they can adapt.
