Microsoft’s Phil Spencer Says Buying Nintendo Would Be ‘a Profession Second’

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer would like to purchase Nintendo sometime. From a report: In an August 2020 e-mail to 2 high Microsoft advertising and marketing executives, Spencer wrote that “Nintendo is THE prime asset for us in Gaming” and that “getting Nintendo can be a profession second and I actually imagine a great transfer for each firms.” The emails have been revealed as a part of a tranche of leaked paperwork from the FTC v. Microsoft lawsuit. One government, Takeshi Numoto, requested Spencer and Chris Capossela in an e-mail titled “random thought” about why Microsoft is not discovering acquisition targets like Nintendo a “extra enticing” strategy to “enhance our client publicity and relevance.”
