| Aielyn said: What Nintendo should do is approach Sega, and arrange a joint purchase of Atlus. Nintendo would pay most of the purchase price, with the deal that ownership would be 50/50, while Sega would promise a raft of exclusives (from their own franchises, not Atlus ones) for Nintendo platforms as their part of the deal. Atlus would be permitted to publish some games through Sega for non-Nintendo platforms, but it would be expected that most such games would also get Nintendo-platform versions. Meanwhile, Nintendo strengthens their partnership with Sega, while Sega gets a boost to their company value. Nintendo has the money to do it, and would get double the value - they'd get the value of having Atlus on board, and they'd get Sega's ongoing support. Two birds for the price of one. |
Interesting.
