Could be the best thing since sliced bread.
Heavily rumoured and would kill off opposition from Sony. Nintendo and their second/first parties develop around 30 games a year with 95% of which reaching status of a very good game and at least 40% being treated amongst the greatest games of recent years.
Rumours have been started from insiders when Microsoft expressed interest in the venture and Nintendo also seemed intrigued. The concept isn't too ridiculous, despite both thriving in the market Nintendo and Microsoft are vastly falling behind industry leader Sony. Microsoft's main goal is to get itseld as the industry leader whilst Nintendo's also shares the aim but desires to continue producing fresh and innovative games amongst others.
Nintendo's EAD head Shigeru Miyamoto, seen as the greatest games designer in the world ever, has made comments surrounding Microsoft. Stating that "Machine strength needs to be dynamic, although (X-box's) power is phenomonal and presents many oppertunities it doesn't have the dynamic structure of Gamecube", he also said commenting on the rumours "(laughing) Well with Microsoft's Money i guess it means there'd be no stopping Nintendo"
More as it comes.

I presume it means whilst X-box has the pure power the Gamecube has a far wider range of possibilities such as the easily created special fx's etc...

PR jargon. Basically saying that while the Xbox has the hard drive and ability to produce slightly sharper graphics, there are aspects of the GameCube's design that likewise make it technically superior to the Xbox.
Alternatively, they could be commenting on how easy it is to develop for GameCube compared to other consoles. They could just be saying that what's inside the GameCube is almost perfect for solely making games.
You just don't know.. Bloody PR.

PR jargon. Basically saying that while the Xbox has the hard drive and ability to produce slightly sharper graphics, there are aspects of the GameCube's design that likewise make it technically superior to the Xbox.
Alternatively, they could be commenting on how easy it is to develop for GameCube compared to other consoles. They could just be saying that what's inside the GameCube is almost perfect for solely making games.

Hehe.
I'm famous on coob-europe, I asked the lame Q & A people this...
"Q: I heard a rumour that Microsoft and Nintendo could merge together, You reckon this will happen?? - by Daniel Harper
A: I heard this rumour in IGN also and all I can say is if it happens we will have one heck of a console on our hands. Picture this - Mario, Perfect Dark, Zelda, Halo, Donkey Kong, DOA, Metroid, Fable, Eternal Darkness, Brute Force and a whole lot more. It sounds like a dream and probably will never become reality I'm afraid."

Looks like a comment which Microsoft would have been slated for by others.
