If SEGA got back even HALF of the talent that other gaming companies STOLE whilst SEGA's financial situation was dwindling, and if ALL the compaines above started on a level financial field, then theres no doubt in my mind that SEGA would be at least one of the last two survivors out of that list.

@ Pezus....... love getting a dig in on SEGA don't you..!!!!!!

And @ Lister............ sure thing, BIG MONEY CORPORATIONS WHO CAN SWEEP MISTAKES UNDER THE CARPET had nothing to do with SEGA's demise huh.

Nintendo and EA, as long as they do reasonable things.

Some of you are just naming some critically acclaimed games, but no hardware sellers.

Seriously if Ubisoft made a console, Rayman would definitely not be a good system seller.
Aside from that Ubisoft only has Assassin's Creed, Just Dance (which is declining hard) and a couple of mid sellers. I don't think many would get one of their consoles.

SEGA currently lacks the quality to attract the mainstream crowd. Their best selling games of recent times are the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games-Games, which would sell MUCH less if they take out the Mario characters.
Then they have the usual Sonic games which aren't huge sellers either and then there's nothing.
They would be extremely lucky to match Dreamcast sales with a new console.

What does Namco have ? Tekken (Tekken 6 ~4m), Dark Souls (I don't even know if they own the IP) and a bunch of smaller ones with Soul Calibur and Tales of.
Certainly not a console that would do good outside of Japan.
Lifetime sales: below WiiU's first year.

no proper option for Rockstar? sad.

The poll is way too Japan biased. Smh

Assuming that all companies would choose to leave the games market entirely or go bankrupt instead of either being bought out or going back to third party:

Activision, Nintendo and EA would succeed, Sony might, all others would fail.

You mean Sega.
