To people talking about MS buying SEGA. It's not happening. SEGA is OWNED by Sammy Corp. SEGA is a Subsidiary. Unless MS wants to get in Pachinko machines.

No, Sega is part of the Sega Sammy Holdings.

Hypothetically, MS could just buy specific things from Sega Sammy. If MS simply wanted video game IPs and perhaps studios, they could just buy that.

For example, Disney didn't buy all of Fox. They just bought their entertainment properties, which is basically TV shows and movies.

On second thought, the nerdrage of Persona as an Xbox franchise does make me smile like a madman, so I say go for it.

Persona, Sonic, Yakuza, Panzer Dragoon, Super Monkey Ball, and what else have they done somewhat recently? 

Valkyria Chronicles, Sakura Wars, and, er... Phantasy Star Online 2 (US)?
...Maybe some Tertis?

Xbox brand doesn’t register in Japan. Sega has more pull. It’s a crazy rumor but I hope it’s true.

The asset denial and meltdowns will be insane :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

There hasn't been a completely new Virtua Fighter for 15 years, and that game was great (including it's updates). Panzer Dragoon Orza on Xbox was another game that introduced me to a Sega franchise.

Man, I'd just love to see some of these series back in full force.

My wild guess is that its going to be AR glasses of some sort. Maybe expand the action outside of the screen and have UI/hud on there, that would be pretty revolutionary.

You are thinking of Sega Mega Drive and Sega Dreamcast only. Sega Saturn sold quite well in Japan, even though it was only on the market for 4 years before it's successor was released, it managed to sell 5.8m units in Japan. That is nearly 4x more than the bestselling Xbox console in Japan, Xbox 360, which sold 1.6m. 

Also Sega has several IP's that are fairly popular in Japan, which MS could potentially get as timed Xbox exclusives to help push the system (as well as xCloud) in Japan, including Persona, Yakuza, and Sakura Wars.

Thanks for proving my point. That was how many years ago? Like over 20. And Saturn was a catastrophic failure.

Have to ask why would proud Japanese company even think about being bought out by a foreign company. On their 60th anniversary at that.

Again, dumb.

Well if you gonna invoke the “proud Japanese” theme then it works both ways. Maybe it’s a “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” route, long memories of Sony kicking them out of the console business. 

Seriously though, if true it’s more of a partnership with some kind of guaranteed revenue for both parties. And besides, even if Sega isn’t as big a name in Japan as in the 90s, it’s still better then “Xbox” in Japan. Progress is progress

Nothing here says they are being bought out. This may simply be a partnership, much like the Tencent-Nintendo partnership in China, where Tencent markets and sells the Switch for Nintendo. 

Well sell out, was I meant to say. Its still doesn't make sense, at all.

I digress. Wait a few days.. this is one of those stupid rumours.

I'd agree its just a rumor, I say definitely not true.

However, the idea itself makes sense and calling it selling out suggests you just hate the idea of them working together.

Sega consoles sold better in Japan and Sega no longer makes consoles. If the two are open to doing a partnership, that would be fine.

And you got all this from some fan nonsense? Okay. Wake me up when they announce a SEGA streaming service.

The MS thing cant be it. It just does not align with info about said announcement.

The guy interviewed SEGA's own tech specialist and executives; He claims that whatever he interviewed SEGA about was revolutionary. We know XBX tech specs, nothing about it would be considered revolutionary, plus why would he interview SEGA about that anyway?

Yeah, I would love to see MS bankroll those IPs because its clear Sega is not interested.

That's what I want from any partnership.
