| mrstickball said: It could be Nintendo, as they've had some strong relationships recently. However, Capcom has done the same with Nintendo at points as well - Capcom (if memory serves me correctly) did a Legend of Zelda game a few years back. But I do think it'd be most advantageous for Microsoft. If Nintendo bought Sega, they'd be buying a much, much larger company than themselves (N has 3k, SegaSammy has 10k) |
Well sure, but employee numbers are really meaningless. Nintendo owns dozens of studios, developers, and organizations who total far more employees than they have. Heck, they own the Seattle Mariners. Given that Nintendo has given Sega pretty much every success they've had in the last 3 years, I would be surprised if they merged with anyone else.
Plus, they have had those collaborations recently with Mario & Sonic and Sonic in Brawl. I would say the only other developer who has a relationship that strong with Nintendo is Capcom. Though Namco and Grasshoper have a pretty good one right now too, as does Square-Enix, with their recent collaboration of Itagaki Street DS, and their almost unbelievable amount of DS games.
