Cisco Considering Nintendo Acquisition?
Or rather, an attempt at acquiring Nintendo? In a CNet article, both TiVo and Nintendo are mentioned as possible targets for a Cisco acquisition. From the articles speculation: Another possible acquisition candidate for Cisco is Nintendo, the No. 3 game console maker in the U.S. A stretch? Not really. Microsoft, which is emerging as a key competitor to Cisco in the home entertainment market, is already in this market with the Xbox 360. Gaming has already proved to be a strong application for broadband, so it makes sense that Cisco would want to own a game device to help drive more traffic on its network. With its popular GameBoy product, Nintendo would also provide Cisco an entree into the mobile-handheld market.
So they speculate that Cisco is interested in buying, but is Nintendo interested in selling? Id guess No.
