Now the question is: Why do you disagree?


SEGA is more than console games (for example arcade games) and publish some series that I don't see Nintendo having enough interest in. (Total War series, Football manager, Phantasy Star for example) A company doesn't just buy another company if there is no real reason to.


Sonic, Virtua Fighter, (whats your beef with Phantasy Star? Online MMO on the Wii U would be great, aswell as single played ones), Persona, SMT, Sonic racing, Miku, Shining Force, Shining (action) series, Sakura Taisen, Valkyria chronicles. puyo puyo, Skies of Arcadia.

They have lots of popular japanese stuff that might interest Nintendo and would give some of their own franchises a rest between sequals (for example they can alternate Fire Emblem with Shining Force and makes VS games, same thing for Sonic Racing and mario Kart, X and Phantasy Star) but it also gives them some poweful IP's they severely lack like a fighting game on Virtua Fighter, exclusiveness past the 3 game deal on Sonic, dancing games on Miku and space channel 5, shooting tactics with a friendly art on Valkyria Chronicles, etc.

I think they complement each other quite well. But, i can understand if you say something like Capcom would be a better investment. No doubt Capcom has more heavy hitters these days whereas the SEGA ones are very dormant.
