If they wanted to sell, they would do so to whomever offers more money. Microsoft, Apple, Elon Musk or the Easter Bunny.And well, if they would want to sell they'd sell to anyone else before selling to MS. Sony, Nintendo or even Tencent would be better options than MS.
Furthermore, a company could also simply acquire a position and then quietly strike deals with shareholders, get seats on the board, and take over the company that way. This is known as a “hostile takeover” which is awesome.
