Microsofts Phil Spencer: Acquiring Nintendo would be a "good move for both companies"
Summary
More non-redacted FTC court documents were released this week, as spotted by Eurogamer, which included a June 2020 email conversation between Xbox head Phil Spencer, Microsofts CMO Chris Capossela, and Commercial CMO Takeshi Numoto about the potential acquisition of Nintendo. Valve, Warner Brothers Interactive, and ZeniMax were also seen as potential targets for acquisition, with Microsoft ultimately opting to buy the latter. "At some point, getting Nintendo would be a career moment and I honestly believe a good move for both companies," the Xbox head added. Earlier this year, other acquisition targets were revealed in court documents, including Thunderful, Supergiant Games, Niantic, Playrix, Zynga, Bungie, IO Interactive, and Scopely. Microsoft also considered acquiring companies like Sega, CD Projekt Red, From Software, Square Enix, Larian Studios, and Remedy.
