Man. The creative minds and innovation of Sega backed by Windows str8 cash would have created the greatest force in gaming we have ever seen.


I dunno about that. Microsoft has better companies to make games than Sega. In fact I think they've surpassed Segas potential to draw dollars by a large amount.


Only if you're thinking Microsoft in 2013 Vs Sega in 2000/2001.  Back then you'd be hard pressed to find a better game developer lineup than what Sega had. 


Microsoft is looking to develop better games than what they are currently capable of doing. This is why they purchased the gutted Rare, but we see how thats worked out havent we? I think it would be harder to buy Sega titles than THQ at this. Sega has more notable titles than THQ ever did, but on the other side of the coin, could those games sell? Shenmue, Bayonetta, Shinobi, Sonic...are probably their biggest titles and three of those are niche. It's a toss up, but the numbers those games would make are nowhere in the realm of what Microsoft desires to profit.
