Most of EA's franchises don't fit with Nintendo, I would rather see Microsoft buy them because they would keep games like the Sims on the PC (windows 7 exclusive ocfourse). Nintendo is doing great this gen but we shouldnt forget that they almost bit the dust lastgen. It's a gimmick that kept them going this gen. If they fail to deliver something new and shiny next time then they need their money to not go bankrupt themselves so it's better to play it save.

EA under MS would be an automatic bankrupt, because MS games only carry so much weight, and letssser..er wait did you just say Nintendo almost bit the dust last gen? While making profits off bought GC and GB, and you refered to Nintendo IS A GIMMICK....wooooooow...

I fail to see how EA as a part of MS could go bankrupt, not that it really matters because EA won't allow themselves to be bought by any of the three console makers, they are far too happy selling everything multiplat.

Nintendo's gamecube was a failure, even the original xbox outsold it. The Wii's only strength over it's predecessor is the Wii-mote. Which is a gimmick as it isn't becomming the industries standard unlike the touchscreen on the DS. But whether or not you agree with it being a gimmick, the fact remains that it was the Wii-Mote brought them back to the top, and they need to come up with something new to stay there.

It made them more money than the Xbox did for Microsoft.

Well, yes, the GC made Nintendo billions or something.  And the Xbox lost MS billions or something.  But Nintendo expected to make billion and MS like expected to lose billions?  So as far as money is concerned, neither was a failure.  Xbox sold more consoles, though.
