Do you think Nintendo with it's manufacturing prowess in simply units sold is
going to be buying 65(c)02 chips from GTE, Western Design Centre or Rockwell?

I have a very limited understanding of the manufacturing process of chips, and
the legal ramifications of it all, but I'll place my bets that Nintendo is
producing their own physically cusomtized version of the 6502.. Over 50
million Nintendo units in the US alone?.. Someone did their marketing right..
