Ok I havent seen almost anyone talking about this specific detail from the Phil Spencer's emails leaked today.
You probably all heard or read about the news of Microsoft wanting to acquire Nintendo today. But there are some details that almost everyone missed.
Lets start with Phil Spencer saying that
"would be a career moment"
Then
"It's just taking a LONG TIME for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
So he wants to acquire Nintendo but he's playing the long game. He believes that Nintendo has no future in consoles.
What he means by "long game"? Well they have this firm called ValueAct working for them that "has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo"
Phil Spencer says hes been talking with this man called Mason Morfit from ValueAct "as he's been acquiring. It's likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us."
So basically Microsoft/Phil Spencer/Xbox been setting Nintendo up for a Hostile Takeover thru another firm, ValueAct, that they control.
That was in 2020 when Xbox started to rizz Nintendo up and creating this kind of "friendly partnership" between both companies.
But looks like Nintendo took notice of this or became suspicious because as you remember they bought back like 50% of their shares in 2021

And after that the Bad work conditions allegations started.
Same as ABK just that these Nintendo allegations ended up in nothing. But guess what happened with ABK? Microsoft announced its acquisition.
The receipts are there that Nintendo is the "THE Prime asset" and would be Phil Spencer's "Career Moment". Theyre doing a slow hostile takeover to Nintendo by playing the "long game" rizzing up Nintendo in these partnerships. If Nintendo didnt act like they did in 2021 by buying their shares back they probably wouldn't exist today
What you think of this?
