Apple's policies with game development on Apple TV prove that they have know nothing about game development. They know that they know nothing about game development which is one reason why they haven't gone further with it. It would be a nightmare for Nintendo and Sega to be under the control of a company that doesn't know anything about video games. That's what destroyed Rare. Microsoft didn't know anything about game development so they bought other companies that did. They knew that Rare made great games but they never understood the working relationship they had with Nintendo that made those good games sell as well as they did. In fact, the only reason the Xbox brand survived is because Microsoft let Xbox remain somewhat autonomous. With Apple, that would never happen. They would never let their company become fragmented like that.

Good point you explained simply and concisely.

They would be better served buying Microsoft... yes they can afford that too.  And then the PC/Mac situation would get interesting.  There has been no real competiotion in the PC arena ever since Microsoft took over.  We need some REAL competition in this market. 

WTF? No. Actually they cant.

OTOH they could invest at the right moment in a minority share of MS, IMVHO, not just for the money but also to help keeping good relationships with it. It happened the inverse purchase in the past, it could happen this one sometime.

For those who believe Apple could buy Microsoft, mind explaining, in detail, how you foresee this?

A new level of ludicrous posting on a forum where ludicrous posting on financial matters is rampant.

They look like they (We? I can't exclude doing the same every now and then.    ) almost do it on purpose to make you jump on the chair!
