Your link is broke. 

I think I would be more excited if Universal featured actual rides.  Remember 100% of their attractions are tram rides.

Sounds like desperation to me.  I can see Nintendoh being eaten up by Sony in this decade, if this mentality carries on.

ROTFLMAO!

Maybe the other way around.....  Microsoft has a failing brand name, Sony has a failing company  (seriously man you need to do some research, their games division is the ONLY part of Sony making money)... Nintendo... they are doing just fine.  Turned a healthy profit last quarter... Wii U sales are up thanks to Mario Kart 8 and other games, those Amiibos are literally 2 dollars of plastic and chips they sell for 13 and they can't keep the little hunks of junk in stock.  Yeah Nintendo is doomed.. the 200+ year old, unmovable company is doomed.

Uh oh the Fanboi is here.  I would not underestimate Micro$oft, or Sony.  Both alone can restructure and still turn a profit for decades to come.  Nintendoh on the other hand, with one more fiasco, will doom it.  It plainly does not have the resources.  It will always remain third tit.  Nothing will change that.  And we are not just talking consoles here.  Actually I wasn't referring to consoles at all. 

That is why Nintendoh is reaching out to Universal.  They have no media outlet.  They just make console games.  And we all know what happened to Sega right? 200 year company?  I think it is you who is needing some required reading and a nap.  :lol 

Besides Howard, you can speak Nintendoh baloney forever, and still be a respected member of the BYOAC community.  ;D

I'm not the fanboy, I'm simply reading the FACTS and looking at them objectively.  Anyone who keeps calling a well respected, well loved company that SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVED THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY...TWICE  "ninten-doh" is obviously the fan boy.... just an anti-fan boy, which is the worst possible kind. 

Microsoft doesn't care about their games division... they are using it as a Trojan horse to get m$ branded set-top boxes in people's homes.  The only way they'd buy Nintendo is if they saw it as a threat to their market share, which it isn't.  Sony cares, because their film, tv, consumer electronics, and virtually every other division but games is bleeding money.  Nintendo is worth a bundle.... they literally couldn't afford such a large acquisition anytime soon. 

Nintendo, on the other hand, has the benefit of not being this mega conglomerate... all of their divisions are actually related to one another.  Their console sales are largely irrelevant in the grander scheme of things... they can survive just on pokemon and merchandising.  Not to mention the fact that their portables are the undisputed king and always make them a profit. 

So yeah, pull your head out of the sand, examine the whole picture, realize you are wrong and apologize for calling me names.

How the hell does a "fanboi" such as me also own a Xbone and various Sony products?  I enjoy all three companies and yet I can objectively see that one is superior and the other two have issues.

Your short-sightedness is your main problem.  Yeah Nintendo has been doing poorly for a while (they are fine now though)  .....and...??? Nintendo, like I said, is unmovable.  Armchair "experts" yell the sky is falling every time they stub their toe but it's estimated that Nintendo could come in dead last for 3, maybe 4 full generations before it actually hurt the company.  They have shareholders that complain so they try to save face, but other than that...

For the record, I don't see anything bad happening to Sony or Microsoft either, but you said Sony might buy out Nintendo, my response was that this was such a ridiculous notion that it'd be more likely Nintendo bought out Sony.... that's how ridiculous it is.

WiiU is such a lousy system Nintendo is REALLY going to have to work hard to convince me to buy another one of their consoles.

Facts?  What facts?  All I see is your facts.  Fanboi facts.  Nintendoh is just emerging out of bankruptcy.  They are desperate to use existing IP characters that appeal to children and fanbois alike.  I bet Universal had to take advice before announcing the deal.  Here is some supporting information to your claim, which, when informing of facts, are required of you.

It took me two quick searches to find.http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/150508/04.html. 

My analysis will take maybe more searches, but Sony has enough cash to buy Nintendoh.  Ill post what I find. 

Yet time will tell if Nintendoh gets itself on the chopping block.

Remember you heard it here first.   :cheers:
