- Yes it can, you do realise both Nintendo and MS are multi-billion dollar companies right? Nintendo doesn't make powerful hardware because they simply can't afford to compete with both Sony and MS both of which are at least 50x bigger than Nintendo only for them to bleed money, hell they sold the WiiU at a loss. The Switch is a great console but it's not as powerfull and it's 300$ together with MS they could easily create a powerful and innovative system and sell it at 400 like any PS4 and Xbone.

- Nintendo is not as mainstream because whenever you talk about console wars, graphics comparisons, and multiplatform games it's Playstation vs Xbox Nintendo is really just a bystander in most cases who goes his own way.

- Rare was a talented and respected team before they joined Nintendo but after they joined Nintendo they reached legendary status. Why, you ask? They had a healthy working relationship with Nintendo higher ups like Miyamoto and helped each other out. You can look up the interviews and it even shows in the games they created Super Mario 64 > Banjoo Kazooie, Ocarina of Time > Dinosaur Planet (SFA) Mario Kart 64 > Diddy Kong Racing, really all you need to do is play those games. Even the founders of Rare were baffled Nintendo didn't buy them so Nintendo did have i big influence on Rare and vice versa.

Wow man....there's being misinformed which is very understandable, and then there's being a living meme. These literally sound like jokes someone would say on a gaming forum(ayeeeeeeeeeeeeee).

-Uhm....you...you don't think Nintendo is a multi-billion dollar company too? Are you kidding me? Nintendo is worth more than Sony and if you were to focus on just Microsoft's gaming division, Nintendo would probably be the richest console manufacturer. Like seriously, I would expect that someone with a Professor Oak avatar would be on the former defending Nintendo with a shield and sword on hand, not spouting stuff that an out of touch 12 year old might say. I mean I can somewhat understand assuming that Nintendo is worth les than Sony and Microsoft, but you really think that they aren't a multi-billion dollar company? 

The rest of what you say is kind of confusing. If you're implying Nintendo didn't make a powerful console because they can't afford it, or because they didn't have the R&D to make a more powerful switch, then that's simply wrong. If you're implying that they made the Switch because they couldn't risk making a powerful console, or because they couldn't stand in two seperate markets(home and handheld consoles) then that's right but ... you're talking about merging Microsoft and Nintendo in which I would assume there'd be one console like a Switch. Microsoft contributing to a Nintendo console wouldn't solve anything except online features. I had to rewrite this entire paragraph cause what you're saying is really vague and can be interpreted many ways.

- That... do you even know half the stuff you're saying? Nintendo might not be a "competitor in the console wars!" but that's becuase they don't want to be. They're being competitive by doing their own thing, they're not ignoring the market. Being "mainstream" has nothing to do with whether or not some 12 year old mentions you in a fictituos war and everything to do with how much product you sell, in which case Nintendo is most definitely mainstream. There is an element to competition but the "console wars" does not need to exist for Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft to be mainstream.

- I never said it didn't have an infuence on them in the past, but most of the people who made Rare great are gone, they either work for Platonic games or some other studio. 

I'm waiting for the punchline because this seriously sounds like post 2001 discussion.

I have no idea where to begin with your post, seriously i think you're confusing yourself more than i ever could. Please re-read my first response as many times as possible and then respond or just don't respond at all.

We will have master chief in Super Smash bros and other MS iconic characters.  Massive. 

And RareWare characters: Banjo and Conker... That would be awesome.

As awesome as it would be I think there would be a better chance of hell freezing over!

Perhaps but you never know in the videogame industry.
