A passion and an art, get real mate. They do it to make money. Look at the board of directors and chairmen, all from other companys previous they dont give a hoot what the games are like as long as they sell.

A Microsoft buyout would be awful.
Not only a Nintendo a very stable company at present, it'd symbolise how screwed up the industry is getting. Nintendo are one of few who still make games as an art. It's a passion for them, not just money.
That's the Nintendo difference.

Basically the Xbox is what the N64 used to be minus nintendo games and currently that's the best console for me.

Very good point standards would drop, but then when you think about it. 3rd party designers would take more time in making better games as they know they would be making games for one console, which is differnt to that of multi format which usually has slightly poorer graphics than single format. So they would have extra funds presuming they made good games.

Standards really would drop then!
After all, Sony knew they'd won before they even released their PS2 - and look at the quality of it! They were even brought onto Watchdog on the BBC for their lack of quality!

Would be so much dam easier if they just all got together and did one console.
Ninty is an institution, thye'd die first.
anyway, its a well known fact that microsoft only got into games to avoid legal action over its monopoly.

Well for starters there's Pikmin 2, and Metroid Prime 2 and then of course there's Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Golf and Kart which are all basic clones/sequels to the N64 equivalents.
Hell Mario Sunshine was basically a sequel to Mario 64.

Well for starters there's Pikmin 2, and Metroid Prime 2 and then of course there's Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Golf and Kart which are all basic clones/sequels to the N64 equivalents.
Hell Mario Sunshine was basically a sequel to Mario 64.
So MS are not buying Ninty, no big deal.
For all the wrong Gates' company does, his comment did manage to boost Nintendo shares by 4%. Excellent, well, kinda.
