Is Nintendo the Apple of Steve Jobs' Eye?

Nonsense - what would Apple really gain in such a transaction that they don't already have? They have a wonderful handheld gaming device in the iPhone, along with a solid and growing portfolio of games, without taking on the headaches and risk of entering this completely different market of standalone gaming counsels, and one that is totally unrelated to the real Apple driver for its platform - the amazing OSX. And what is this about Apple "formally announced a gaming initiative in September"? There are already 10's of thousands of games on the iPhone, and they have been there since the launch of the iPhone app store well over a year ago.
