This story makes me laugh my ass off. It gets better when you read the details. "We (Microsoft) will handle the hardware and you (Nintendo) make the software." LOL, I would rather buy hardware from Nintendo every single time. RROD anyone?

Microsoft had nothing to offer Nintendo except an unrealistically inflated ego.

I dunno about that. Remember the WiiU or Virtual Boy? I mean anyone can pull 1 bad system out of the history books of a company. Also the 360 was a great console.

I am glad that Nintendo isn't owned by any one. Nintendo are such a great company.
