EA Founder Predicts MS Purchase of Nintendo

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-quite-an-eight-ball dept.

New site Xbox2News.com (via Evil Avatar) has up an interview with Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts and recent AIAS inductee. During the course of the interview, he is asked what he sees as the future course for Nintendo. His answer? "My magic eight ball says they will be acquired by Microsoft within five years." Tycho has commentary on the man's forcasting abilities in today's post.

    How about the comments of someone who checked with Wired, or Nintendo's own response to the article?

    Or you could, you know, go straight to the supposed source (Wired Magazine, Feb. 2005 issue), and see that it's not listed anywhere.
