1. Since when was Apple making their own video game console? Last I checked, iOS itself is already a viable platform industry-wise.
2. How would a console from an American company that has never made consoles before automatically "spell demise" for a Japanese company that's still doing fine and has been for over 200 years?
3. Why would Apple buy out Nintendo? How they buy out Nintendo?
4. Apple doesn't have great ties with Disney, they have great ties with PIXAR.
5. "Having great ties" doesn't mean jack-s@#$ as far as getting a cartoon made based on a given property.
You wanna know when we'll get a new Mario cartoon? When Nintendo feels like it.
Let me tell you something The Chef
First of all, Apple is starting their own game console and it will mean Nintendo's demise, it was in a article that Yahoo put out a couple of days ago.
Second companies can buy out companies from other countries, in 2011 FIAT bought out Chrysler that went bankrupt in 2007.
Third Apple has ties with Disney, they acquired Pixar in 2006 and made Steve Jobs the majority shareholder and was a Disney executive until his death in 2011
Fourth Having Great Ties mean a new cartoon for a franchise, before Disney's acquisition of Pixar, they presented all the Pixar movies.
So you better get your facts straight before you post something stupid like the reply that you just gave to this thread.
