If Sega is looking to sell.... maybe start with Atlus, and give Sony (or nintendo) a shot?

Atlus is legit the best part of sega these days, and its strengths, is in game types that dont appeal to most american xbox users.
(how well would SMT & Persona sell on xbox? not well I think, and its their main strength, games like that)

MS can have the rest, old sega IP's basically arnt worth much these days.
MS could spit out of bunch of low quality budget, Sega IP games for gamepass with it.

I love how you're like "Sony can have the best studios, MS can have the shitty ones we all know no one likes and will make the less profit, thus calling MS's buy a bad decision".


Also would mean Sony exclusive, so Xbox, Nintendo and PC wouldn't be getting much access to yet another Japanese studio or two. No thanks, I'd rather MS have at it or no one at all. These stupid wars always start because one sect, one tribe, always wants something under lock and key.

Your obviously putting words in my mouth and twisting things to suit your logic.

Low quality, low budget, Sega IP games, could make great sense for gamepass (its got alot of smaller budget, 60 meta type games), and its set to make them lots of profits. Thats not a "bad for MS buy decision" but instead a smart money move.

What Im saying is, I dont care about sonic ip, or most other sega stuff.
Alot of these IPs dont translate well into big 3D open world story driven stuff..... their smaller 2D focused arcade style games (which makes for a good gamepass fit).

Meanwhile turn based RPGs are atlus's strength, that and story telling.
Also traditionally, their SMT/Persona games are on playstation + nintendo, were their fanbases are.
It would be "nice" if MS doesnt buy sega, just to toss atlus into a deep dark dungeon makeing games they arnt suited for, or want to make ect.
