Nintendo Rumors, Apple Options

[EddieV]

I have recently found out that if the Nintendo Revolution fails, Apple is planning to buy Nintendo and create their own console, with Apple Graphics Technology.

You have a friend who works at Apple.

Doing what? Sorting mail?

Unless theyre up there with the big wigs theyre not gonna know jack, and I wouldnt listen to everything people tell you.

Incase we all didnt know, Nintendo is the most profitible gaming company out of the big 3, and even if the Revo fails, the Gameboy/DS will grab all the cash. The GBA has sold more than the PS2 in the US, its not as if Nintendo is gonna bail.

If I were you, I wouldn't compare GBA to PS2. Especially, since GBA is like now, what, HALF the price of a PS2? Way more affordable. I bet half of the people who bought GBA thought "wow this handheld is awesome since it's only $100 and now it's only $79.99!" I mean, PS2 is an actual system, versus Game Boy Advance, which is a handheld. Perhaps you should compare GC and PS2?

Although I may sound biased, GBDS only seems to rake in more attention due to the various games it supports. The PSP sold A LOT, but there aren't that many games for it. Even my bf, who loves his PSP, doesn't even play it that much anymore since he's bored of the games. There just aren't that many good games for it. Rather, GBDS is going strong in releasing popular titles or games that were popular in the past. OMG ZOOKEEPER ON DS. But I loathe the GameBoy DS system in general.. yay PSP. I'll just try to find a way to get zookeeper on psp lol


As for apple, I think it's doing wonderful business with computers in general, since the my school supports macintosh (not the people, but the school in general). Also, it's doing well in iPods and other things, so hey you never know.

My point wasnt to compare the systems, my point was showing that despite the themed death of Nintendo via the Revo, the Big N has a big foothold in the industry with the handheld systems, and if the Revo fails, theyll have something to fall back on.

And the DS is not a Gameboy, just to make that clear.

And whether or not the DS has good games is a matter of opinion, therere plenty of games Id like to get right now. But yeah.
