In your opinion they do, it's not like everyone has to think that they make "excellent" games.

OK my bad.

Microsoft Game Studios make some superb games, being as it's a whole array of developers making titles for the console.

And people say "Nintendo is unique, they'd suffer if MS bought them" - Why exactly would their games suffer?

Microsoft purchase the developer, Microsoft wants games from developer, developer makes games as normal, money comes in.

It's no different to Nintendo, say, acquiring Bungie as an in-house developer. All Nintendo would want is the developer to provide the "goods" lets say.

If you think about it, All Nintendo is, is a game developer. Same as Bungie/Rare/EA etc, It's just Nintendo have moved one step further by making games and hardware to match.

Microsoft have made Flight Simulator and that's about it.

Of course Nintendo make better games. It's bleeding obvious - they always have and still do. MGS make decent enough games, but that's not MS. That's developers who are owned by MS.

Yeah cause Microsoft make so many amazing games...like...um...Blinx!!11


There is no way that Microsoft produce better games than Nintendo, that would be complete bull. They aren't even a games company.
