OK, so you guys see this thread?

People are discussing an Apple/Nintendo merger with the talks of them entering the home console space again.
I'm gonna go post about it in the thread, but I can't get over how ridiculous it is. Not because it can NEVER happen (after all, remember the industry we're talking about, you can NEVER say NEVER), bbut because people are talking about it like it would be some sort of hostile takeover where Nintendo has NO input on hardware design. If Apple were to EVER consider merging Nintendo with them, it would be because they see a value in EVERYTHING they do as a business, not just for the software portion.
Still, we're more likely to see any partnership with the 2 of them being something simple like syncing digital content with iTunes (which would be super-cool).
