I think that it would only work as a buyout because:
1) Nintendo had way too much faith in thier own console, and way too little faith in Ps2's hard development and M$ newbieness.
2) Nintendo probably already wasted millions of dollars creating the Gamecube before M$ steped in.
3) Nintendo probably wouldn't have accepted development for the 'Xbox' any other way... and there is no way in hell M$ would have wanted to use the 'GCN' hardware this generation.
I know you guys would have been pretty pissed to start off if you all had to spend the extra $$$ on Xbox and have to deal with the controller too
But we didn't know back then that Xbox and GCN would both be raped by Ps2. Now that we look back, most of us (most, not all) probably view it as a bad move for Nintendo... Xbox isn't looking too bad now-a-days. One less console to buy (for me
)
Back then Xbox was predicted to flop though, and I wouldn't have even liked them buying out Nintendo. I mean, Xbox flops, M$ owns Nintendo, what happens next? PC games for Nintendo?
Oh well, maybe they can do it Next generation... hopfully. I don't like the three way competition.
