2 - i don't need to read the article
to know why it didn't happen

MS: so yeah, hey guys. you know your DS thingy is purty popular with the kids, and we're kinda trying to break into the casual market. we got this series with Rare, you know your former most important company that we took from you, and we were wondering...if...you know...

Nintendo: NO! 360 is pig disgusting! Nintendo would commit seppuku before allowing our gracious DS to connect to your console and get e-herpes! didn't you get the hint when we cut the umbilical on your little goldeneye remake project? we are NINTENDO. we share our profits with NO ONE BUT OURSELVES!

EDIT: after READING THE ARTICLE, it turns out the 360 just reads from the screen of the DS.

lame.
