There are rumours currently flying around that Nintendo, one of the worlds largest video game companies, may be bought out by the Rolls-Royce of personal computers, Apple Computer Inc.
There have been recent murmerings from Apple that they wish to move into the lucrative gaming arena, and a move for in-fashion Nintendo may be the solution to this.
Should such a stunning takeover occur, the news would be likely to cause further unrest to Bill Gates and Microsoft; not only would they have to worry about the PlayStation 3, Google’s dominance, and open-source software, but they will have to pay further attention to the United States’ number 3 in consoles, Nintendo.
Clearly Apple purchasing Nintendo is only a rumour, but there is a still a possibility of it occuring, as Apple desperately want to capture the video game market as they have so beautifully captured the music market with their iPod, perhaps buying such a respected gaming franchise which invariably struggles against the money power of Sony and Microsoft is not such a strange concept!
