With all this 'Nintendo will buy loads of manufacturers and get all the good games and rule'.

This is very unlikely, due to a) The large fan base surrounding the PS2 and the, uh, very large fanbase that the Xbox has..
b) There are laws regarding market dominance. it happened to Microsoft, and if Nintendo try and buy too many developers they will be stopped.

In my opinion, Nintendo should really concentrate on their third party support. Specifically, Capcom. They need to secure those five games as exclusives, and get some big names such as Devil May Cry and Onimusha on GameCube. I seriously think a Capcom buyout (if it's financially and practically possible), would be the best thing they could do now.

in fact microsoft cant buy any, as they own such a big company, they could dominate the market even if they got 5 or 6.

I think second-parties are what Nintendo need to concentrate on a little more. Just look what Silicon Knights and Retro Studios have done for Nintendo. Also, with Rare leaving the flock there is still a gap to fill...

Don't MS already own enough software and hardware companies to last him for a couple more decades, until he turns into a withered old Mr Burns.
