Historical Example of Logical Buyout Scenario:

In September 2002, MICROSOFT Purchases RARE from NINTENDO

RARE produced Donkey Kong, other Nintendo exclusive titles in past.

Accounted for less than 1.5% of Nintendo sales.

MICROSOFT pays 400 million dollars for 49% of company.

MICROSOFT desperately needs EXCLUSIVE hit games to drive customers to their platform (Xbox)

Previously ran a software sales company and led a team of telemarketers, outside sales reps, computer technicians and administrative personnel from an $8,000 initial capital investment to $1,000,000 gross revenues in 14 months by selling through demonstration at computer shows. He later took intensive courses in web development, project management, database design, graphics and beginning programming, which has proved invaluable in managing the software development process. Since joining IBI, an entrepreneur training network, he founded Allegro Multimedia Inc in August 2001, and in spite of the tech bubble collapse, the scandal and terror economy, was able to raise 1.8 million dollars, develop and finish the core game and software engine that will revolutionize music education in our lifetime. His passion and commitment to children and learning and his vision of a world where everyone feels music making is a birthright not a privilege has led him to leave no stone unturned to create this company of like-minded investors, team, and strategic partners.

From an excerpt of an e-mail from Fred Brown, Allegro Multimedia Advisory Board member and Executive Producer at Home Shopping Network, who oversaw the Casio “Magic Light” campaigns, and who views Piano Wizard as a clearly superior product.

"HSN sold over 20,000 Casio Magic Light keyboards IN ONE DAY last November 2000.   The magic light keyboard is a fair comparison as a method of teaching people how to play the piano. ”

The relevant number here is 20,000 units X $200 apiece =$4,000,000 in sales IN A DAY.
