If Nintendo ever do anything like that.. it would offcourse be with sony.. (japanese)

Actully I had think about the possibility, that they could do a phone/handheld together.. Think about it.. After japanese dominans in the handheld space for decades.. Apple.. google.. MS.. samsung and few others.. are about to controll it all.. An insane important marked.. where Nintendo and sony IP's mayby could do the trick.

Also when it comes to homeconsoles..

Together Sony/Nintendo would stand lot better against.. not just MS.. but also valve.. google.. ea.. apple.. samsung.. some chineese companys.. Who in theese years totally destroy the japanese export..

Sony/Nintendo could happen within 5 years..

Nintendo has more assets/cash reserves than Sony by a big margin when considering Sony's debt. Sony is doing well with the PS4 but they are not in a position to be the ones considered to acquire or merge with Nintendo. bear in mind that Sony has an extremely spotty history with their video game division, almost every generation they actually LOST money from that division. even in the giant PS2/PSP era Sony LOST money from their video game division


Nintendo is OCD about profit and keeping to their core values. I just do not find the companies similar at all. if it's a question of Microsoft or Sony then, yes, sure, obviously Sony would be the more likely candidate down the line. but even there the two companies are so fundamentally different that I doubt it would be a great idea

Yes I know..

But can you see Nintendo do a dedicated handheld again..(they may do.. but it will not sell half of 3ds and they know it)

Then Nintendo could do the handheld/phone themself.. but again.. cant see it do that well (And I'm the biggest Nintendo fan)

But if you combine Sony phone.. sony ip.. nintendo IP.. and add a litle Nintendo magic.. then you may have a "ipnone killer"
