Indeed, it is strange that a gamestudio of microsoft is designing games of
its competitor.
But still: it is RARE and not Microsoft itself designing games for the DS,
and as Microsoft doesn't compete with the DS this isn't that worldshocking.
I'll start to be surprised when Sony will develop for the DS. That would
really be akward.

| Nothing unusual about it at all. Microsoft is the leading software company
developing software for Apple computers. In fact, back in 1997, Microsoft
invested $150 million in Apple to keep it afloat.

MS doesn't compete with Nintendo in the portables market. Plus, it's a
revenue stream.
