They wanted to put their OS on the Playstation from the very beginning. Nintendo and Sony both told them no. He is onto something. If Sony and Nintendo both let Microsoft have their OS they would probably drop the console division all together.

Nintendo should've taken that deal and ran quite honestly. Maybe expanded it so that Microsoft Game Studios would operate as a Nintendo 2nd party. 

Just build clause into the contract that MS can't attempt any type of a take over and it would've worked out OK. Who gives a shit what OS the GameCube would've ran. 

Lets just say what you're saying is true and it did happen. Microsofts in house development teams (that theyve created) are not creative enough to be Nintendo second party. Hate to say it but they could scrap everything the day they say goodbye to the industry. The Coalition is pretty much the remnants of Epic Games, Halo was purchased (IP and company) from Microsoft and have you seen Microsoft put out a hot new IP without paying third party? LOL....The only favor they could do for Nintendo is loan them money and build their OS.

I wish I could say Microsoft could be a good second party, but that probably would've only worked with Sony.
