This is a thread about Apple and Nintendo, lol. 

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. 

1. The "cooler" talk is more hyperbole. 

2. No one argued what the thread was about.

3. So because Apple has been more successful than Microsoft in the "Smart market", that now makes them untouchable? Why ignore that their OS hasn't even dented what Windows has achieved? Why can't I BUILD a Mac computer?

Yes, they've made key accomplishments in a sector, but so has Microsoft.

If you don't think a Apple + Nintendo console would be very formidable in this market, I will just say I disagree with that. They could easily be successful in this market if they really wanted to be, they probably just view it as small potatoes. 

What's 100 million hardware units over 5-6 years when they sell that many iPhones in like 6-9 months? 

Apple builds their hardware, the same way you can't build a Rolex watch or a BMW, that's what some companies do they build their own products and there is a certain quality assigned to that. You can't build your own Playstation either. 

Microsoft hasn't done anything hugely important since the 90s, that's just my opinion, as a business you're kinda stuck with them because changing OS' can cause all sorts of issues with past record keeping and Apple is not really interested in the business/server market anyway.
