Nintendo themselves would never let it happen.

It would be a catastrophic blow to their independent brand.

Yeah but by virtue of MS having already acquired AB, the FTC would be less likely to approve a Nintendo acquisition.

Point of order: That acquisition is far from complete. It's winding its way through the courts in the UK now, and it could still get jammed up. Everyone else has grudgingly given it their blessing.
