I've always maintained Nintendo and MS make better bedfellows than Nintendo and Sony, against prevailing wisdom. 

If Microsoft built the hardware and online functionality, and managed the Windows side of things, and Nintendo had complete control over software, OS, and mission statement, that could be an interesting partnership.

What a crazy post.

Nintendo gets complete control over the OS, but Microsoft manages the Windows side of things. That's at odds, isn't it? Nintendo gets complete control over mission statement, but Microsoft builds the hardware and online functionality. That too is at odds, isn't it?

Additionally, what's the point of this fantasy? Microsoft takes the loss on hardware, Nintendo gets to do what they want? I don't think that would be agree upon either. And why should Nintendo pick such a weak partner to begin with? What advantage is Microsoft going to bring to the table, realistically speaking?

The only kind of partnership that makes sense is that Microsoft becomes a third party publisher on Nintendo systems, but that's about it.

It is just a fantasy. Just fun to think about. It would never happen.

Honestly, I just want someone to fix Halo.
