I'd love it if Microsoft and Nintendo merged, that would be a beast that could compete with Sony and the PS4 and we'd have a much more interesting generation. |
They wouldn't merge, that wouldn't make any sense. Microsoft is just too big. However, if the rumors that some in Microsoft want to spin off Xbox are true and come to fruition, then a merger of the Xbox spin-off and Nintendo would make a lot of sense and would probably crush everything. They'd be able to cater to every gaming taste and audience even better than Sony, support multiple systems to give different hardware options, and be the very best at marketing like no one ever was.

Well, by merge I meant the stronger buying the weaker, as in Mirosoft buying Nintendo, but if the Xbox division was removed from the rest of Microsoft, then yes, then it would be a merger.

That would be an acquisition. Merger would be like Squaresoft+Enix = Square Enix or Namco+ Bandai = Namco Bandai. I really don't think Microsoft would want Nintendo. Nintendo might consider an Xbox merge, and maybe Xbox as a spin-off division might consider it too, but I doubt Microsoft as a whole would want a Nintendo acquisition. Nintendo IPs? Sure, they'd buy those if Nintendo were selling. But not Nintendo the company.
