I have a very reliable source, a person without a name deep inside the situation who calls himself CSM, that says in 2005 Nintendo & Sony will be collarborating on a console that will be neither the PS3 or Gamecube 2, but a whole new product designed to single handedly destroy Microsoft from the videogame scene for good.

Think back to the middle 90's ... Nintendo and Sony agreed in principle for a collaborating system to be used in conjunction with the Super Nintendo. Nintendo axed the deal in fear that they would lose money and have Sony essentially make a 'hostile takeover' of Nintendo technology. Sony eventually dominated as we all know.

Fast forward to early 2000, super secret talks began on a collabortion between the two companies .... Sony would pay an undisclosed amount of money for Nintendo to essentially can their next console and work only on the PS2, Sony in fear from looming threats of Microsoft, and possible collaboration between Sega. Nintendo again canned the deal in hopes that teaming with Panasonic would make a meaningful attack on the multimedia world, but Panasonic has had minor interest in this campaign.

Early this year talks resumed again ... Nintendo in a deeper hole than every before, and a threat of Microsoft on the horizon, Sony needed a big gun to do it all. Sony has agreed in principle to let Nintendo design several game specific functions of the next console, ironically, and cryptically called Playstation Nintendo 05 (P.N. 05 ... ring a bell?). Capcom's in the know on this and has cryptically sent out messages such as this in their games. Meanwhile the 'Game Designer's Studio' a self made fund by Nintendo to secretly disribute funds back and forth to and from Sony (which owns a high percentage of Square-Enix ... Crystal Chronicles? ... Wink Wink?). Expect a major announcement on the horizon.

After reading this I'm thinking your other post may be a joke too...

If that was a joke then it was extremely well thought out.

There are well thought out explainations how George W Bush engineered the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon to pass the US PATRIOT and HSEA acts. Just because something sounds plausible it doesn't have to be true. I've read too many over-the-top conspiracy theories that were in a similar style as this "article".

megaton indeed!
the sony nintendo playstation gamecube?

allthough my initial reaction is to go -wtf... this is bs... but hey, stranger things have happened

rpglover · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2003, 04:50:57 AM »

i doubt this will happen- in fact i would bet nintendo and microsoft would be together first to take down sony than this

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #7 on:** August 17, 2003, 08:51:10 AM »

I doubt Sony would do that. That would in effect can their only money making departments they currently have.

And the part that said Nintendo was in a deep hole.

Then there is other factors such as the PSP, Sony whould have to basically junk it because of Nintendo Philosphy.

Pale · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2003, 09:00:05 AM »

Good point on the PSP, not that I really believed this to begin with, but with the PSP there is NO way it would happen.

Think of it..IBM which helped Nintendo designed the Gecko processor now is Sony's main partner for their next console and Nintendo doesn't even care a bit.The Gameboy Advanced newest model is called the SP and Sony is calling their new handheld console the PSP?
Well without Sony's approval don't you think FF series could have made it successfully to the Gamecube and was sold so many copies in Japan even in the first week?Sony might be indirectly helping Nintendo.
Nintendo going with Microsoft?Well after having Rare and most talents flock to MS don't you think Nintendo is thinking of teaming up with their rival?Even worst still MS now wants the best out of ATI and snatch the whole thing up leaving Nintendo with the less powerful GPU.
One last thing though do you think Nvidia will let MS kick them around and going out with ATI?Remember Nvidia recently kept praising the new PS3 architecture?If you think carefully how the hell they know that the PS3 is revolutionary?Well the answer is quite simple,those folks at Nvidia could have some information about the PS3 and they are not leaking anything yet.Clue?Nvidia next generation GPUs will be made by IBM for your information and that list will include the NV38..NV40 onwards.Who is IBM with today?Even if the PS3 will not have Nvidia directly designing a GPU for them they will have some sort of technology which is linked to computer graphic cards..

"Even worst still MS now wants the best out of ATI and snatch the whole thing up leaving Nintendo with the less powerful GPU."

nintendo doesnt care if it has the most powerful graphics processor or most ram or the fastest clock speed
when nintendo makes a chip for their new system, they give a long list of specifications to the company who then makes the chips according to nintendo's wants and needs- when it is all set and done, nintendo has what they want and what they need to work with to create their games- that is what i like about nintendo
look at the processor and graphics chip inside the gamecube- on paper it seems like microsoft would have the advantage (faster clock speed, more ram) but in reality, both systems can push out the same quality graphics and effects- nintendo will get the chips they need to do the things they need it to do- its as simple as that- microsoft partnering with ATI will not affect nintendo at all- and i doubt microsoft is going to just throw money at ATI and say- "make ours the best chip set and screw nintendo over!"
so basically i dont think nintendo will partner with anyone for their next system at all- besides dont they want to take down sony?

Even though I think this whole thread is complete satire, I am going to comment on IBM.

DO you have any idea how large a company IBM is? They literally have a dozen design teams. I don't mean like 60 people design teams, I mean like full blown hardware/ software manufacturers.
IBM is very capable of taking on several completely new designs and still have time for other things.

Yup, PSP = "PlayStation Portable." It has nothing to do with Nintendo's SP.

Yes, Final Fantasy began on the NES and the rights to the game are owned by Square who is a third party company. And the Final Fantasy name is what sold the games, it was gameplay and the FF name that sold the games, not some giant conspiracy theory.

Yeah, Rare and who else? You're making absolutely no sense.

I once read that once IBM teams up with a company, the companies stock isntantly rises.

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2003, 04:19:16 PM »

AMD is betting their life on what you say.

and not really about AMD.
They have teamed with motorolla, apple, just many companies and they don't always rise.

I don't know why everyone assumes ATI is designing a graphics card for the X-Box....did they say this at some point? Knowing Microsoft they will prolly just throw the latest Radeon in it. The X-Box is just a PC in a fancy case.

PIAC · « **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2003, 06:18:45 PM »

my PC case is fancyer than an xbawx thank you very much

'i got a bad feeling about this' - leia, something is up... its probably a giant hoax.. but still... my nintendo sence is tingleing

heh, so's mine...=)

Pale: Yes, ATI officially stated they work with MS now.

I think all this "team up on someone" stuff is bull####. Why should they team up? Sony doesn't need a partner, they're doing well without one. MS wants total domination, a partner would eventually get in the way. Nintendo produces good games and hardware by itself, all a partner could give it would be image. And that doesn't justify the cost of a partner.
For the japanese people and companies the XBox is just a bug waiting for the boot to squish it, so why bother? After all, the japanese sales numbers don't put the XBox anywhere above the NeoGeo, CDi or other failed "bug consoles".

Its good if Nintendo can still support itself in the next generation consoles but I guess its better off for it to go with Sony.If it was to go with Microsoft it will certainly spell doom for the Japanese videogame market and I don't see the Japanese wanting that to happen.Microsoft has always been a big bully and they entered the console business just to make profit whereas the videogame business has always benn Nintendo's core business and Sony's main product line today.From what you see today,Nintendo is no more doing well.They loss quite a lot.I was a Nintendo fan before but I don't see anymore good titles coming out these days.No more Earthbound,Donkey Kong was never as good as the SNES days,Zelda went towards the cartoonish route...
If Nintendo was to go with Microsoft,its a matter of time MS will dumped them later when they achieve their goal of domination.Look what happened to Sega and Nvidia.MS just dumped them as though they got a new mistress.Sega had to quit the console business.Nvidia's market share is still reducing today and if they don't do something this will get worst still when MS gives priority to ATI in the next DirectX designs and workings.
I wouldn't want to see the Asian companies fail or else we will never have chance to see much growth anymore. Remember those days when 3DFX Glide was the only 3D API before DirectX came out?3D graphic technologies were advancing so fast that time not until MS came in with their DirectX to compete.|Those who wanted the upper hand had to pleased or coorperate with MS or else get the leftovers.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #21 on:** August 17, 2003, 11:57:57 PM »

I wouldn't worry about Nintendo being able to surport themselves the next generation. They are doing better than they were with the N64. And the next generation they will do better than that. (Hopefully) The major problems this gen is the advertising and the N64 supposed "failure".

PIAC · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2003, 01:40:30 AM »

celebi, if you cant see anything coming out you obviously arn't looking hard enough, there is a TRUCKLOAD of awsome titles coming out, and if you want some snes feeling games try tales of symphonia and veiwtiful joe, and zelda has allways looked cartoonish, look at LttP and LA.

nintendo may not be doing well in the eyes of the internet, but if i didn't have the internet and only read gaming magazines that focused only on nintendo, I would figure they were leading out of PS2 and Xbawx for sheer number of great titles coming up.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2003, 11:14:38 AM »

Oh yeah one other thing even when their console is considered a "failure", they have seen more profit from it then Sony.

Berny · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2003, 02:51:34 PM »

When I first read that I thought it would be a good idea. Ends the console wars, the Ninty bashing, etc. But then again, if that happened, Nintendo wouldn't have competition as an incentive to make better games. Then again again, the SNES didn't have a lot of competition and it had some of the best games of all time. Oh this is all so confusing. Wait, Miyamoto wouldn't go for a console staring both Mario and GTA:X would he? I realize he isn't the president but I have a feeling he's pretty influential. I forget if he's the one that said Mario would never shoot up hookers.
