I dont see it happening. And if it does I will cry; only Sony and Microsoft would remain

 

[Shane]

there is no way in hell microsoft will buy out Nintendo. Nintendo isn't poor its got quite a few billion.

 

[thebluenewt]

Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo before the XBox came out, they were turned down then and will be turned down now.

 

[Huxley]

Yeah, I can't see this happening any time soon. Maybe in a few years time if Nintendo's next crop of consoles fail badly, but only if.

 

[mattmagoo]

Nintendo will only ever sell to a Japanese buyer

 

[thecheat]

it won't happen. not a chance in hell.
i am really glad that their attempt to but Sega failed earlier though. i would have sold all of my sega systems and bought a PS2 earlier
in case you didnt know from begore, i am a massive segaholic and i hate microsoft, so to me that's like apple selling to microsoft. for years, sega and apple have sold the greatest and best harware, and if one sold to microsoft, then there woud be nothing! i'd have to get a Sun machine then again, that IS what i am goingto buy when i get into college.

Sega, best hardware? :blink:

I would have loved it if Microsoft bought Sega, it certainly would have been better than Sammy. Sega's best games this generation have been on the Xbox (not including DC). I am also a Segaholic but I also realise how much good Microsoft is doing for the industry. I wouldn't have seen Nintendo or Sony pick up Shenmue 2 and sticking it on their consoles.

Also, you must have been one of the few lucky ones with the DC if you think they make the best hardware. Its CD drive was too slow and the controller ports blow out quite often. I'd hand best hardware to Microsoft, I can believe how slow Sony and Nintendo were at getting a more PC like structure. It's a hell of a lot easier to use than the Emotion engine.

I don't understand this Microsoft hate but I assume it is some sort of pseudo socialism.

SEGA only offered Shemue to XBOX and not PS2 and GC

the reason wat XBOX has the most similar controller and no other control system would've worked with Shenmue

 

[nerd of nerds]

its not gonna happen...

besides...bill gates is a douche....

i hate is os yet i am forced to use it as it is what i am used to <_< DAMN J0000 B1ll!!!111

 

[LHC]

Surely if anything that should be "damn you rival companies for not making valid competition!"?

 

[mr twit]

I agree. Microsoft is great, if it wasn't for them the whole computer industry would never have got so high off the ground. And Windows XP rules.

 

[davey g]

You do realise that Shenmue 2 was the first game developed specifically for the controller S, the first game to have the controller S in the manual rather than the duke. Therefore the controller can't be the reason for Sega offering Shenmue 2 to Microsoft and it's pretty obvious that that is not the reason. No game company would only port a game to one console just because of the controller. That is just idiotic.

 

[CrazyDesi]

Microsoft hate is for people that think its cool even though they have a partition of Windows or a computer with it on(generally). When you ask them why they say that they can't help that people are behind and wont develop for Linux.

Everytime Microsoft farts towards Nintendo we don't need to hear about it. Anyway, I feel Nintendo is almost as evil as Microsoft nowadays (especially with their "remake" policy for GBA), so I don't mind as much. Hell, the extra capital from Microsoft might even allow Nintendo to translate more "risky" Japanese games. Moved to Off-Topic Discussion, since this doesn't concern the GP32.

 

[GBA_lover]

im using a mac which is much better than shity windows trust me. and i also have a gamecube and all of nintendos consoles including a virtual boy. this will never happen.

Selling products in exchange for money is evil now?

 

[davey g]

I agree with GenMX, £15 for a NES game on the gba? Hell no.
