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.

Just like Rare?

Not at all.

Sega was still pumping out incredible games when MS started on the Xbox.

Rareware on the other hand was a shell of its former self.

I'm not a MS guy, but if they had made it and we had new versions of Streets of Rage, Echo, Out Run, Altered Beast and After Burner with AAA quality I would buy everything they released.
