I believe Apple should buy Nintendo.

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. 

I know I can't build a PlayStation - but, that's a home console. So, that would be  "no shit" in the nicest of terms. You can't build an iPhone, either, so its relevance is non-existent.

As far as computers are concerned, I get more choice when sticking with Windows. Just like I'm locked to Apple's proprietary software when dealing with the iPhone, whereas with Android, I have more choices.

I'm not arguing that Apple isn't a smart company, but to act like they're flawless is ridiculous. Their "marketing" is precisely why the iPhone is where it is, while also lacking some of the strengths found in other smartphones.

The iPhone is pretty damn good product too. That helps. 

People who push the reasoning that the iPhone is some cheap/crap product that succeeds only because of marketing are the ones who are off base IMO. 

iPhones are always in actual benchmarks perform about as well if not better than the top tier Android phones most of the time. The build quality I find is usually quite good too. A lot of people don't want 1039483494 different options with their smart phone, the reason they like smart devices is because they are easy and intuitive and streamlined to use.
