MS was a minor partner with Sega on the DC. If the DC was a more successful console, I could have seen one of two things happening. MS buying SEGA and taking over their console business or MS becoming an equal partner with Sega and we'd be playing MS/Sega Dreamcast 360 right now. The 360 launched right around the time the DC2 would have launched had SEGA had the traditional 5 to 6 year console lifespan.
Honestly I wished Yamauchi would've have turned down CSKs attempt to sell SEGA to Nintendo. I highly doubt that Nintendo would have gutted or dismantled SEGA's premeire development teams like Sammy has done. If that didn't work, I wish CSK wouldn't have turned down MS's offer to buy SEGA. I don't think MS would have butchered SEGA's development teams either.
