Macs are so much more than Personal Computers. But let’s not get into that.

All i know is, if Nintendo branched their license of Pokemon onto the iPod Touch or iPhone, The white house would be on red alert, and Apple/Nintendo would be deemed terrorists. Conspiracies would begin and people would say Nintendo is the Nazi of our generation, and Apple is the Süper Soldat. Basically… All hell’d break loose.

Your missing some points. For example the white design of the Wii. It seems they tried to have a Mac-like design. Also the “simplicity” of the remote. Pretty much a try to copy the elegant design of the Mac. Just look back to GameCube, N24 or the NES and you see what Nintendo stands for in Design. You might be able to compare the Apple I to that, but really nothing more.

And Mario isn’t as evil as Steve is.

Both are able to sell their products for a price competitors can’t – even if their products are often more powerful. Have to say this ain’t criticism but admiration. And it’s a clear evidence for perfect design and marketing.

(I know that this belongs to point 4 to a certain degree)

One sells cool, useful things

The other sells overpriced media players that lose their charge in 4 hours.
