How'd Windows Phone go again? Or Zune? 

Microsoft gets by because they've had an OS monopoly since the 90s and businesses are kinda tied down to that OS, they've mostly failed miserably any time they've tried to market/compete directly with Apple on smart devices. 

Yeah, they only "get by" with billions each year on an OS that runs laps around Mac. Do you even know the history of what nearly buried Apple prior to the iPhone? As I said, spare me. We've been through this before, and frankly, your continued (and overbearing) hype of anything Apple is, frankly, intrusive.

This is a thread about Apple and Nintendo, lol. Yes I'm well aware of the 90s and but the 90s are what they are -- the past (and distant past in brand/technology terms). 

Apple has arguably been the most successful company on the planet for the last decade, Microsoft has failed to be able to really dent the smart market and the smart device revolution is the no.1 way most people compute today quite frankly. Smart devices have changed the world and MS got largely locked out of that, whereas Apple led a key revolution in human technology. 

If you want to argue against those points, be my guest. 

Also it's well known Apple's marketing is incredible, as a brand they are far "cooler" than Sony or Microsoft and have been for ages now. 

In a scenario where Nintendo and Apple worked together on some kind of home/gaming box, it would certainly be an earth shaking type of event for the industry and make things much, much more difficult for Sony or MS (I think it probably would push MS straight out of the gaming business for starters).
