New OXM Rumor Nintendo and MS joining forces?

[Sheeyt]

Apparently in the new OXM they dedicate a rather large section of the rumor mill to add fuel to this Nintendo/MS rumor. Can you imagine a console built by MS, supported by Nintendo, marketed in Japan with the Nintendo name while we keep the MS name here. There are so many rumors about this flying around. Both Nintendo and MS have deals with ATI for advanced graphics technology for their respective next consoles and they both have deals with IBM for processing chips. What if they are both one in the same machine?

Sony would = teh dead!

[Spaztic]

having zelda, metroid, and some mario games on the xbox would be pretty coo!

[bretman1234]

If this is true, it would be the single largest thing ever to happen in the gaming industry. 2 of the 3 big consoles out now, joining forces? I can't even imagine having Mario and Master Chief playable on the same console. One can only pray that OXM isn't pulling our chain again, like the time they said Brute Force would be good.

super smash bros iwth Master chief, brutus, DOA 3 characters

GNARLEY dude

[Reclaimer]

I don't see it happening as the rumor states. I don't see them joining forces persay.
What I see is Microsoft buying 49% of Nintendo's stock, and making Nintendo a 3rd party vendor.
That'll never happen by the way.
I would leave that in the rumor bag.

[Sheeyt]

Reclaimer think about it though. If MS and Nintendo did this, this would help MS get its foot in the door in Japan. They work together on making a console, in Japan it keeps the Nintendo name in the states it keeps the Microsoft name. Then think Nintendo develops titles for the console and gets royalties for their franchise characters, while MS allows Bungie and Rare to develop for DS. There have been TONS of rumors flying around lately about a Halo game on DS. The idea is beautiful!

I doubt it that it will happen, but it would be awesome if it did. I can't imagine the sells it would get. Sony will get owned if this would happen in the future.

Lol, i got a laugh out of that. It'd be pretty cool if they join.

Whatever, you non shooter, man...

[RockTheCasba]

[TOTTEN]

i love nintendo and i love m$(because of da almighty box) so that would be awsome.
on the super smash brothers thing it would be awsome witha mc, a elite, a brute, last but not least everyones favorite marine sgt. johnson from halo(the black guy who is giving the speech on the frst levels movie)
now let the smileys take it
xbox nintendo sony

[bretman1234]

Whatever, you non shooter, man...

LOL, didn't mean to offend you Brutus, its just that it was supposed to be "The Next Halo," and it ended up being "The Next Flop." I think the 0 Live support is what did it in.

Honestly, I'd believe it if I saw it...but, that would be, like someone said earlier, the single biggest thing in the video game industry to ever happen. I don't doubt that it could happen...I'm just not willing to bet either way if it does or doesn't at this point.

The idea is beautiful, but the graphics won't be, even if this rumor is true, which I doubt it is. The graphics on the DS are horrible. One step up from the GBA I must say, but at least two or three down from the PSP.

[bostwick202]

First that would never happen, nintendo has said time and time again that the day it stops making console is the day that it goes out of business. Oh and the psp w/ its huge screen you can stare at it...until the battery dies in 3 minutes....

[Variation-XBA]

Too bad it would never happen... ever

[Sigma]

Chances are this will never happen, but anything is a possibility and it would make sense, but I would keep the Nintendo name on the console because Nintendo is the most well known video game company in the world. MS could just throw their logo on it somewhere. If this were to happen Sony would be knee deep in **** creek with no where to go, but down (console wise anyway).

BWHAHAHAHAHAhahaha..Omg.. good one dude.

I think it would be the ultimate awesome to do that. I love some of Nintendos games.. (Zelda, Mario) I mean theyve got some goods Id just like to see make it to an Xbox quality console.. Thatd be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet..

Something to chew on: Both Microsoft and Nintendo of America are based in Redmond, WA.
