   Apple buying Nintendo??
  Is it possible Apple could buy Nintendo? If so whats in it for Apple and even more importantly whats in it for Nintendo? C|Net talks about the rumor  here  and mentions a rumor of a secret videogame division going on at Apple. Interesting read but personally i dont think Nintendo is up for Sale..especially with Wii coming out shortly and from all reviews it will be a hit. I dont think a Japanese hit would ever sell out to an American company anyway. what do you think?   
  It would be a very bad thing in my opinion... Apple and Nintendo are *very* different things and I don't want to see them mixed.But they're right that new Nintendo consoles are looking suspiciously Mac-like, but that could be just because that kind of design is the hype of the moment, isn't it?Anyway, in my opinion white isn't the correct color for a game console, but oh well.   ;  While a Mac mini with a Wii-mote running some sweet motion-sensitive game is pretty tempting, I don't think it's going to happen. I think I can categorize it safely within the realm of "rumormongering".:)   ;Quote:I dont think a Japanese hit would ever sell out to an American company anyway. Please, don't say things like that unless you've done all of 30 seconds of research.;Quote:Original post by JRaveyQuote:I dont think a Japanese hit would ever sell out to an American company anyway.

I guess earlier i was just thinking politically about Nintendo selling out to Apple.   ;  Nintendo isn't for sale, the management left that position very clear last time they where offered to be bought, by Microsoft, if I remember correctly.Microsoft wanted "in" into the games market, and they figured that the easiest way to do that would be to buy an already established company (this was of course before they went with creating their own console, the XBox)...
