I can't wait until Facebook or Google acquires Nintendo or Square Enix or something.

Why would Facebook want to go bankrupt?

If that meant the end of Nintendo....well go right ahead.

Nintendo's next handheld should run its own Android-fork
I'd use some tissues myself

I do agree that more acquisitions / partnerships will probably happen though. The publishing model is fucked up, and these companies love patent hoarding - it makes companies easy prey for big media giants. I think players like Warner Bros and Disney are going to become huge competitors and hostile takeover threats too.
