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.

Yes, there are. The PS3 uses Linux, as well as OpenGL, COLLADA, OpenMAX, and OpenVG, all of which are open standards. Furthermore, Apple uses open standards: OpenGL is one major one, and the entire core of OS X is an open source project. Apple also uses industry standard hardware. Nintendo is not known for using open standards. Thus, I don't see how you justify a dislike of Apple and Sony, but an affinity for Nintendo, based on the companies' use of open standards and/or open technologies.
