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.

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.

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.

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

Microsoft buy good games.
Nintendo make them.
Simple as.

It would be no different would it?
Okay, lets look at it like this.
Nintendo buy Retro Studios. Nintendo sack most the staff and decide that they're going to can all but one game.
Where's the developing as normal?
Microsoft could easily do that to Nintendo should they buy them.
Note: Facts going by my own memory. Dringo could probably clarify

Cuz they would suddenly probably have larger budgets! Thats the only thing that springs in to my mind.

Their pride would suffer and no doubt many would walk out.
games would suffer, with a lack of competition there is no drive to succeed.
and i think Nintendo do make better games, but tis true that it is an opinion, some people like FPS's and beat em ups. some like adventure.
Nintendo wouldnt do this anyway, Microsoft are losing money on the xbox, and Nintendo have no reason to sell atall.
i imagine if it does happen then Microsoft would be smart enough to leav Nintendo alone and just take the profits. there would be no sense in converting Zelda and Mario games to the xbox just for the hell of it..
