Well, on the plus side, at least it wasn't Nintendo or Sony.
So, that's a positive. But SEGA were pretty low down on my list of viable third parties (see: Japanese third parties); behind only Capcom & Square Enix.
In an ideal world I'd have loved Marvelous AQL to buy them, but I suspect they're nowhere near rich enough. GungHo or Konami would've been great; or even Tecmo Koei (but they're probably lacking the funds too).
Ah well. I can only cross my fingers now and hope that Atlus remains a separate entity within SEGA-Sammy and doesn't become another division of SEGA.
Looks like a good time to start learning Japanese.
