Of course the character's Name and IP would be sold to balance the loss of the company, but I'm wondering WHO would buy him. In the first place the most reasonable company to buy Sonic would be Nintendo since they make the Mario&Sonic games and they are use to making platforming games, on the other hand there are Sony and Microsoft, both without their own mascotte, Sony has been looking for a proper mascotte for a while, and even if it seemed that Crash was near to get the title he was never really used by them, Microsoft instead has lots of money and might be thinking aswell of buying the caracter to make it it's own character. So what do you think will happen to Sonic IF SEGA goes bankrupt ?
