Lol, Nintendo+Apple wouldn't even be a competition.
And this isn't even supposed to be a troll post! It's kind of like a fact...

Not really, Android is bigger than IOS and Steam has 40 million active accounts, just on the PC/MAC, if they created a console based on Steam, with android support... that number would be a hell of lot bigger. A Sonysoft console would probably trounce any other home console on the market, the combined lifetime sales of 360/PS3 will be over 150 million, and that's with one incredibly underwhelming console sales-wise compared to it's predecessor. Nintendo and Apple would be the clear victor in handheld gaming only, beyond that the competition would be tremendous. 

Out of interest, how'd you come to that conclusion pie?

Because it's the obvious answer.

Nintendo has a large amount of followers and the exclusive First Party IP's that everyone know's and loves. iOS has a TON of followers, you (I think) and many other people said it themselves, there's a lot of iDroids out there that'll buy anything to do with Apple.

Lol the same can be said for the other companies. They all have a TON of followers.

See I think Microsoft and Sony is a much better combination. They both have weaknesses in areas where the other company excels. E.g. Microsoft with XBL, marketing or Sony with it's extensive first party. What does Apple have to benefit Nintendo and vice versa? IOS support on a Nintendo handheld seems to be about it. Money and marketing isn't an issue for Nintendo, Apple's first party is non-existant, they've never made a home console. (don't mention pippin :P)

Realistically, a next gen microsony home console could sell 100 million, probably more. Will the Wii U, as it is, get anywhere near that? No. What about the Wii U with some input from Apple? Still, no, because they have next to nothing to bring to the home console space. Nintenapple would dominate handheld gaming, but not home console gaming in the slightest.
