koei isnt really a titan.. and tecmo is in doldrums right now.. oh well cant be worse than the whole sega sammy merger

 

 You know that Sammy was the much more dominant player when the merger happened. Sega/Sammy was the second largest company (Japanese)behind Ninty (worth about 10 bill if I remmeber correctly) Today however I am not so sure...those pachinko machines are dying.

 

true.. but sammy wasnt into software so much and the arcade business was clearly dying after 2000,I never really understood that merger, I think sega bandai would have been more benficial. Tecmo and koei dont have much to offer-3 big IP's from the two comapnies isnt really that huge. Im guessing tecmo will go multiplat now though- since Koei is a PS supporter and 360 has been tecmos forte.. DOA5 on PS3? we'll find out..

 

 I am pretty sure Tecmo and 360 went their separate ways when Itagaki left (and sued) the company. He was the dude wearing cowboy hats and thinking hes American no? He did make awesome games though...
