Not a bad idea.
1) Nintendo needs to grow in areas of networking, online capability, and everything around that technology.
2) Nintendo needs to gain western focused IPs and additional studios that have experience in this area.
3) MS needs to pull out of hardware. Everywhere they've tried, its ultimately failed. Even with the success of X360, it still ended 3rd in market share and never made the overall division profitable.
4) MS could still make money off of the stock Nintendo would obviously need to use as part of the deal. Unless Nintendo used its large cash backlog, which wouldn't be smart.
I think its a win-win for everyone personally. So long as it does not include any form of ownership over IP by MS after the deal is done.
Even Disney has adult/mature studios and publishing arms. Nintendo could keep its Nintendo arm where its always succeeded as well as add an Xbox arm that is focused on more "M" content. To me its a great way for them to open up their portfolio and fill the gaps in both IP and technology.
