"Microsoft and Nintendo union..."

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 reckon it'll happen.

In responce to tread.

Nah.

Posted it Dringo, and gave you credit ;)

You all have some doubt, you just don't want to admit it. In some respects - I hate Microsoft as a company, just the way they do things. Would you really want Nintendo befouled by Bill and his cronies? :)

Please vacate from this thread. Immediatly.

You know you want the MS/Ninty thing to happen ;)

This makes sense at first glance;

Nintendo make excellent games, Microsoft make excellent hardware. Microsoft have the money, Nintendo have the innovation and talent.

But they're two incredibly different companies with largely contrasting principles and business strategies. In this respect, it doesn't seem such a good idea.

Yes
