Capcom would “gracefully decline” any acquisition offer from Microsoft, according to the company’s chief operating officer.
The company also has no intention of acquiring companies itself, exec Haruhiro Tsujimoto has said.
Tsujimoto was asked by Bloomberg how Capcom would respond to an acquisition offer from Microsoft. “I believe it would be better if we were equal partners,” he replied.
Don’t imagine Microsoft would have too much success trying to poach Japanese companies.
They’re notoriously “Japan first” in everything they do, but enough money would probably change that.
I did hear about one company slowly buying up stocks in Nintendo… whether that goes anywhere or not remains to be seen.
