If that was ever to happen, I'm outta here. Sony only and if that doesn't work, I'll quit gaming all together.

Maybe Nintendo should buy the Xbox brand instead? that way we have less haters! Nintendo would finally get 3rd party support they always wanted and Xbox gets a foothold in Japan and an even more impressive first party line up.



They tried buying them before, and they couldn't.
and how in the hell can some people expect Sony to buy them when both companies are around the same size? :P

Funnily enough my teacher was talking about this last week in my Business Studies class.

Wtf? I'm a business expert confirmed?

What did he/she say about this acquisition?

I might of phrased it wrong. I meant that he used Microsoft buying Nintendo  as a example of increasing market share.



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

I'd lament the fact that X button just isn't where it used to be.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Microsoft bought Rare. Please be excited.

Darn it. Why you gotta bring up Rare? I thought we could all have forgotten that Rare ever existed.

But then we'd get the Nintendo hardware...

They aren't around the same size. They are around the same value. You don't use you own value to purchase something else anyway.
