If MS/Sony/Ninty Could Own One of its Competitors, Who Should Own What?

hmm, now that you mention it, they don't have any Japanese games do they?  That is strange.  But would sony really mix well with MSFT.  The only franchise that MSFT would benifit from is Gran Turismo but even then Forza and Turn 10 has been making better games this generation althoug Gran Turismo sells better.  Besides that maybe Uncharted and God of War but they wouldn't be getting much new customers because that is basically the same market they already have.

Gran Turismo would probably be a nice compliment to Forza, which for the most part has been a biannual series for Microsoft. Release GT games in off-years, have a new racing game every year without flooding the market with a single franchise. Microsoft would certainly be selling more software at the very least, making their console more profitable.

For the people saying MS could buy Nintendo... I think MS would destroy Nintendo. Look at what they did to Rare.

Rare has made some good games with MSFT including Conker Live and Reloaded, Kameo, and Viva Pinata.  I will blame them for not allowing some games.  Still  a Banjo Three and a Conker's Bad Fur day 2 is a must. As for Forza and Gran Turismo I guess if they both took turns releaseing every two years then that would be ok.  Forza is always 2 years so if GT replaced the two year method they both would have 4 years.
