Imagine that

In the western market. (You can change Apple for another company).

Do you believe that this company will do the things more better than NOA?

Is Reggie only a buffon since he and Kaplan doesn´t know how to market the DS here?

Or is me and I am little paranoid?

I hate to ride the speculation wagon but a Game Boy / ipod collaboration for Apple and Nintendo would totally rock the house.

Mp3 playing Game machine that's actually utiliarian with the two of the world's leading brands who have rabid fanboys and successful portable vs. Sony.

I've been hearing Apple has some interest in entering the games arena and Nintendo might be swinging towards more multimedia portables in the future. I could see cross licensing of technologies and cross promotions ipod/GB evolution compatability being a possibility.

iBoy? That would be interesting, and I think it would definately have the potential for being really popular. Maybe even make Nintendo "cool" again with the way iPod has really been called "cool".

Yeah, or simply ipod branded players with Nintendo chips and technology and similarly, Nintendo Game Boys that is linked to itunes and has apple technology.

THere needn't be a merger or a monumental stock swap. Just a mutual technology exchange and product collaboration. Certainly, Apple is milking their initial ipod design for all its worth and so has Nintendo with the Game Boy Advance.

The timing seems right for both companies to be working on the next generation of their successful portables and I'm sure there's discussion on some level inside both companies about the possibility. I can't be the only one to think of this. In fact, from my experience, everything I think about usually someone else is also thinking. Whether that concept wins out or not, is up in the air. But I see great synergy here and I hope to see something along these lines.

Of all the companies out there... why does anyone think that Apple could improve Nintendo sales?

Just look at the iPod. It's the "cool" thing to own. Nintendo definately needs help with their marketing and Apple has succesfully marketed their iPod. I don't see why they couldn't help Nintendo.
 
A successfully marketed iBoy, that included a fairly decent amount of storage, would sell well over a 100 million units easily. I still think Nintendo was retarded not the name the DS the GameBoy DS.

The Game Boy doesn't need additional help to sell. It's the home system market Nintendo needs to improve, and Apple's little Mac doesn't look like the success story Nintendo would want to emulate.

You can change Apple for another company that knows how to market their products except Sony and Microsoft of course.

I am only saying that Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe can do the things more better.
