Bill Gates wants to buy Nintendo.

Here is a link to a brand new article regarding Nintendo's opinion on Gates' comments.

And whoops, I was way off in the amount in my previous post. Over 7 million dollars, not 6 billion.

Here are two statements from IGN. The first one comes from their n-query, their mailbag, the other one from a business news. - "Apparently Microsoft, more than Nintendo, is interested in some kind of partnership." - "Nintendo Co. Ltd. today announced that it had successfully repurchased 7.95 million (or about 5.6% shares outstanding) of its own stock. The company spent $728 million in the re-acquisition. The move, which was set into motion last June, was made by Nintendo in an attempt to ward off the possibility of a hostile takeover by another company."

Here's the link to the article.

If IGN's seach engine didn't suck so damned much, I could have given you the original IGN article.
