(3.85 billion market cap) I would suggest Sega buys Nintendo and make the Dreamcast Switch but they don't have anywhere near the money to do so. Microsoft makes the most sense to try and build on the Japanese market, but both Nintendo and Sony make a lot of sense as well. Nintendo has always kept a great relationship with Sega over the years. If either Nintendo or Microsoft were to buy Sega or Atlus it would be a major blow to Sony who gets the elusive rights to mainline Persona games. |
I think there also the fact that Sega would want to keep the Sega head quarters in Japan. If they got bought by Nintendo and Sony there would be a merger of companies. Only Microsoft would truly keep it as a subsidiary and let them operate as they always have been. Microsoft would also be the one willing to pay a higher premium. This deal would most likely be like Sony's Bungie deal that was just signed keeping everything multiplatform but give access to all of Sega game to come to Microsoft platform and more importantly to Game pass.
