Jeff said other stuff than just It takes two to tango. For all we know, it could also be him having fun. Everyone is just going crazy with speculation right now.
it’s the time of the year now.
I wouldn’t be surprised, even if it’s unlikely.
I like Nintendo, but having the next Resident Evil or Street Fighter locked to the Switch 
imagine Sony skirting over Square Enix to buy Capcom. SE will be there standing like
Tell that to Take Two.
The only publisher I think Nintendo would straight up go for is Koei Tecmo because they’re a good partner for both exclusives and almost everything they make is released on Switch (only games that straight up would not run on it without serious downgrades aren’t put there)
However in the unlikely scenario Capcom is acquired I can see Nintendo start doing some poaching. Getting key Monster Hunter team members over with them and having them put to work on “Creature Killer” or whatever. MH is almost as important as Nintendo’s own IPs for their hardware. It’s a big factor on what made the 3DS basically kill the Vita
but what if Tango Acquire Capcom…

I did not read Jeff’s tango comment as having an underlining implication. At face value, he’s just saying that companies who may not have been up for grabs previously could be on the table now that the market is so hot. Names that come to mind are Ubisoft, CDPR, Moon, etc.

I look at that list and literally the only PS moneyhat is SFV (which is why I think people keep equating Capcom to Sony).
SFVI was even mentioned to be coming to all platforms except Switch in the Capcom data breach leak (current gen and next gen, that includes Xbox). So I wonder if that game being multiplat (we’ll see when it’s revealed) is basically a statement that Capcom is NOT interested in going exclusive?
With how successful they are right now, the premium would be way too high for Sony anyway (possibly over Bethesda level)
If Sony is interested in making “Capcom = Playstation” the most they can do are timed exclusives (also unlikely, Capcom sees the value in multiplat now. MH Rise was a weird exception because it was tailor made for Switch)

All that tells me is Sony is either making a big studio or small pub purchase or alternatively some more big moneyhat exclusives to keep stuff off of xbox and gamepass.
He doesnt get “excited” for anything Microsoft.
Geoff isn’t just any insider, he is a very big person in gaming and has a lot of friends of the gaming world. I trust him when it comes to insider knowledge.
Also what he said is something we all known anyways. Gaming consolation is getting faster and faster.

What would everyone’s dream Acquisition?
Mine would be SquareSoft personally. Xbox has a huge gap for JRPGS and an exclusive Tomb Raider would also be an answer to Uncharted. Although I wouldn’t mind Nintendo buying them too, giving their amazing, long relationship.
The only other big acquisitions I’d care for are; EA, Ubisoft, or Take Two.
