Sega has still great old IPs like panzer dragoon and shenmue

All good points I can see why an why not but my opinion on getting Sonic is that main reason doing a classic 2D platform because that is what made Sonic great in the first place. Nintendo would do it right and it would benefit them because you have another exclusive and then can save money by telling Ubisoft "to take Rayman and shove it up their Ass. Glad you don't think highly off us and good luck with Rayman on other consoles"

If true then Nintendo can swipe the Bayonetta IP for cheap. That's not going anywhere Sega wants to go any longer, unless Sega has rights enough to start making Bayo visual novels

hmm...

Sonic just needs to be put to rest. Sega really screwed the IP by churning out these terrible games one after the other.

Nah, Sonic just needs a rest, and a vet for all the abuse from Sega. ;)

But honestly, Sonic is (or was?) their main mascot, so you'd think they'd handle the Sonic games with more care? As we've seen they don't, it's more like, try often enough and you might succeed...

Sega should improve their quality control drastically, then they might not have these debacles like Alien: Colonial Marines or Sonic Boom.

Nintendo shouldn't buy Sonic, as they don't need him and they can't make enough games to give all of their ip's time to shine anyways, so Sonic might not even get a game every 7 years or so. Might as well kill him.

The route Sonic will probably take is more Smartphone game apperances.
Angry Sonic? Flappy Sonic? Sonic endless runner XL?

I think Sega and Sonic Team should just mimick Nintendo and other companies, but do it their own way, just like how Sonic was made

If Sega were to make another console game, they need to actually get input from fans and build a sequel. It seems like they try to start fresh with every game, and they fail every time. At this point, they should take a survey and see what kind of game fans want. 

I agree.I think Sonic is doomed at Sammy's hands. If Nintendo got him, perhaps he could be returned to his glory days.
