Money ability: Spencer, the head of Xbox, has considered buying Nintendo or V Club, thus "creating more opportunities for Microsoft"

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Daniel Wu in South China, handwritten former, rain and snow clues delivery! CTOnews.com, September 19 (Xinhua)-- Microsoft is famous for its "money ability" in its Xbox game business. CTOnews.com reported earlier this year that in the documents disclosed in the court lawsuit between Microsoft and the Federal Trade Commission on the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Matt Booty, the head of Xbox game studio, proposed to "spend money to kill Sony."

Another batch of documents about Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard were disclosed today, including testimony related to the remarks made by Spencer, director of Xbox, about the acquisition of Nintendo and V Club. The email date is August 2020, when Microsoft has not yet formally acquired Zenimax (News Agency B).

▲ source FTC court documents CTOnews.com noted in the email that Spencer thought Microsoft was the most likely American company to work with Nintendo, referring to Nintendo's board of directors (BoD) actively promoting the appreciation of the company's stock at the time.

Given that Microsoft board member Valueact is also buying a large number of Nintendo shares, Spencer believes that this will create opportunities for both sides, and Microsoft board can fully support the acquisition of Nintendo (and V news agency) when the opportunity arises.

Without this catalyst, I do not see the possibility of a mutually satisfactory merger between Paradise and Microsoft in the short term.

However, Microsoft did not continue to move forward in the relevant acquisition direction, but finally chose to acquire B Society and Activision Blizzard.
