Just got an e-mail from SR which has the following shocking information on:
---------------------
MICROSOFT IN SHOCK NINTENDO BUY-OUT OFFER! NO, REALLY!
The new book, Opening the Xbox: Inside Microsoft's Plan to Unleash an
Entertainment Revolution, has some pretty staggering revelations about
Microsoft's console division, but perhaps none more amazing than this. Way
back in early '99, Microsoft apparently made an attempt to buy the entire
Nintendo corporation for a neat $25 billion dollars, a figure that would
make even Dr Evil blush.
So, what's the full story?

-----------------------
does anyone else have any further information on this?
I don't know if I believe it, but coming from SR, there must be some truth in it shouldn't there?

This was on digitiser this morning, yamamuchi just vetoed and said we dont need your money we are filthy rich. (Sort of)
IE getting any PC title they can and porting it on to the Box!!!! Even when they are older and cheaper (but the same game) on the PC!
yeh, they 'tried' but whats to stop them trying again..
I think microsoft are trying everything to make the x-box the ultimate console by just trying to buy out successful companies rather than think of gaming strategies themselves!

Microsoft also tried to buy SEGA but where again laughed at. To bloody lazy to make their own games.

You missed the crutial word 'TRIED'!
Nintendo just laughed at Microsoft and it never happened! {well kinda anyways}
