Nintendo Explains Why Acquisitions Aren’t Always Best
Nintendo has commented on the possibility of acquiring more companies, saying that while it is considering all options, the Mario maker would prefer to “organically expand” instead.
As part of Nintendo’s latest earnings announcement, the company said “we do not rule out the possibility of further mergers and acquisitions.” At the same time, though, Nintendo said its priority is on the aforementioned organic expansion, and for a good reason.
Nintendo said organic expansion allows new staff to “fully learn and understand our creative culture,” whereas this might be more challenging if Nintendo simply bought a company outright.
