can't win them all 3. IBM's (IBM) stock, which has been on a tear of late, could get another boost today. IBM Corp. and Nintendo Inc. plan to announce a $1 billion agreement for Nintendo to build its next-generation video game system using IBM's chip technology, The New York Times reported today. Under the deal, IBM will make a custom computer chip for the new Nintendo game machine, to be released in the fall of 2000. The Nintendo PowerPC chip will permit the game machine to display almost lifelike three-dimensional images, far outperforming any other games created by Nintendo previously. Nintendo already controls more than 30% of the US markets video game machines and the alliance with IBM could help to increase this market share
