Yes, I agree. I would prefer Nintendo, but I can live with Sony too, but these are (imo) the only viable options.

Nintendo should buy Atlus in a heartbeat

Rise of Sega!!!

the way BN treats their own RPG's i'd say HELL NO!!

Sony, please be Atlus's saving grace....or Nintendo...I just want my Persona 5 dammit!!!

Sega's philosophy falls more in-line with Atlus's. Square Enix could potentially be ok, judging by how good Eidos has been doing after the acquisition.

Sega would have my vote.

If any of the big 3 were to think grab Atlus I would hope it would be Sony.

Why? It's simple. Sony is more likely to allow Atlus to keep doing what they have been doing. They are well known for granting developers plenty of freedom.

It also wouldn't hurt for Sony to have all Atlus titles exclusive to Vita.

I for one think Square has no $$ to make such an acquisition and they are focusing more on the West nowadays anyways.

Also they could ruin them with Poor management. Can Index recover btw?

I'm praying to the Gods Sony would buy them...outside of fanboyism, Sony is the only company I see letting ATLUS continue making games they want without much interference

I don't want that Atlus's games become ownership of large companies .

The risk is that they want to localize these games if only they can sell a large amount of quantities    .


This is why I prefer small companies (Atlus , Nihon Falcom) than big companies .

Currently Atlus is not present in europe. If a Atlus-game comes to europe, it has to find a different publisher. A publisher with presence in europe would increase the possibility of the games reaching europe. That they are hesitant to take the risks is clear. But the wait for EOIV is killing me, while it is available in the US. Also EO II and EO III didn't even reached europe.
