Nintendo is out, Microsoft is moving in

We all thought Nintendo was going to pack up and move on out of Redmond, Washington. Then we found out it was only a handful of divisions that would be relocating. Now, word comes that the small plot of land (27 acres) is up for auction and one of Nintendo's biggest rivals, Microsoft, is trying to move in to the space. Of course, such a move makes sense for Microsoft, what with them being all over Redmond.

Microsoft only wants to buy the property in case someone at Nintendo leaves behind some tips on how to build profitable game platform hardware.

Okay I'm a nintendo fanboy and even I find that comment to be completely stupid. Huh? Are you kidding me. Have you not heard of how sucessful Microsoft's 360 has been? Or are you choosing to ignore the fact that MS has created a great system with great games that more and more developers are creating even MORE games for?

Nintendo should take this oppurtunity and along with Wii build a new empire in some area that doesn't share space with MS or sony. Plain and simple. New York, Chicago, any big city will do.

Chill out man, if you knew anything about Microsoft's history you would find TimD's comments humorous. The 360 being great has nothing to do with Microsoft's "creative" practices of taking someone else's idea and making it their own. It's still an accomplishment for M$, but it's so shady! lol
