Keeping in mind our leading priorities (bolstering our presence in PC for North America and Europe and definitively entering Western Mobile), we evaluated 46 companies and applied a set of filters (e.g., scale, regional strengths, corporate ownership, etc.) to identify the most attractive targets. The filtering process resulted in 12 leading targets that we believe are large-scale and most attractive to acquire (see Figure 6).

"we conclude sega is the most attractive next acqusition target"

Key risks:

• Deal execution: It is unclear whether Sega Sammy has appetite to divest their gaming studios, which have represented roughly half of their revenue and operating income. Deal execution would likely be particularly complex.
• Integration risk: Microsoft has limited experience with Japanese acquisitions. Our preliminary integration plan is intended to preserve a degree of cultural & operating autonomy for Sega by having its Consumer division leadership report to Matt Booty. However, there is a risk that this plan may not completely account for cultural and/or other integration challenges.

What IPs from SEGA still arent on Xbox?

SMT is pretty much the only one I can think of, Lol.

Feel like Microsoft has already made huge waves in that area...

Unless we count the PC specific IP...But I doubt it.

I wonder if these leaks are going to increase the stock price of any company, Lmao.

Reply to "@Anuj Gosalia(?): One of the things consoles have been really great at is giving a very clear platform target for developers and GDK has been really good at this. Is the plan for 2028(?) to keep that ERA like(?) model or force a Windows like flexible capabilities like model?" We have already started this journey with Xbox One and Xbox One X, furthering it with Series S | X. We need to be even more flexible going forward with gen10 but also provide the ability for creators to take advantage of unique hardware capabilities.

^ Should post this in that dang thread...

Microsoft planning to launch Gen10 in 2028 (?). Already planning their consoles for Gen10. Possibly another two model approach.

But Microsoft is abandoning hardware! Lol.

Sony I'm sure does this, but they just aren't as dent headed as MS with their leaks. They know how to keep their cards close to their chest.

Wrong thread. lol.

Oh damn, I thought SMT3 Nocturne HD Remaster came out on Xbox.

Strange that didnt come out but Soul Hackers 2 did lol

This isn't leaks Tbf, it's court files being unsealed.

Oops, I just noticed I called them leaks, yeah, I was wrong to call them leaks there, it's court files, Lol.
