Forums - Gaming - Nintendo and Microsoft merger. Am I the only one who would want it?

I dont actually think its gonna happen Im just saying I want it.

M$ doesnt have to pay the bills bdbdbd they could support Nintendo where they suck ie: online.

Think about it people who like M$ can play Zelda/Mario people who like Ninty can play Gears of War/Halo. Plus Conker,Perfect Dark and Banjo would go back to where there supposed to be. NintyXD

Valkyria, u are alone in wanting this. MS can and will bite, claw and pay off anyone who prevents them from doing one thing, makin the moneys. Video games need passion, creativity and originality, none of these MS has. Why else do they have so much trouble competing in online software dev.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Nintendo has tons of money to invest, and if they don't make a more powerful console is just because they don't want to.

And excuse me, but which tech power Microsoft has, none of these companies (Nintendo or MS) design their own hardware architectures, it is IBM or ATI design, the best thing MS could ever offer to Nintendo is their install base and infrastructure for online gaming.

Install base almost exclusivly in one country, the US. not worried about that.

Online, its full of ferals, but i think Nintendo will copy what they like and leave what they don't.

Oh gosh,Nintendo will be ruined for that.

That's exactly what would happen.

 

Sony would also take both out.

I dont think people who like Nintendo would want to play GoW or halo, and the same for people who like MS, and if it such a good idea, why did MS didnt offer that to Ninty from the beggining, and instead just went and took one of Nint greates second parties, Rare ??



People are thinking Microsoft Game Studios merging with Nintendo, true, that is bad for Nintendo, but if you mean the entire Microsoft... meaning Windows, Office, Live, etc. That is uber super great for Nintendo and horrible for Microsoft. Who wouldnt want an extra $40 billion cash pile and a 90% installed base on home PC's?



THIS THREAD SHOULD BE LOCKED BECAUSE IT IS BLASPHEMY.



No I as a PS3 fan would also like this merger.
