Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft to buy Sega?

Why would Sega do that?!... They are actually getting along with Nintendo really well right now!

They even have games which feature Mario in it, games that sell 4million+ units on Wii!

 

Why, on earth, would they ever let themselves be bought by Microsoft?!... Heck, even Sonic is in SSB:Brawl...

I don't want this to be true.

SEGA is like a dinosaur. Old fashioned games that are recycled. People laugh at Sonic.

A bad developer.

I want MS to keep buying quality studios like Ensemble, Rare and Lionhead.

You can feature Mario in any game and it will sell 4 million copies.

 

but if you look at the CORE gameplay of that game, it's poor at best. without Mario's appearance, the game wouldn't sell 2 million copies

You guys are noobs, I picked that it was sarcasm at

"Are you an avid Xbox 360 gamer? If so, chances are you are also a member of the ‘old’ SEGA faithful"

:P

It would help Microsoft, yes. But if Microsft bought Sega and put all their old games on Xbox live arcade, I'd be really pissed, since i JUST bought a Sega Saturn :(
On the whole I think Sega was sorta the violent rebel company, with rebelious Sonic to appeal to kids. I think it would be better if Nintendo somehow bought the Sonic franchise and Sonic team and Microsoft got the rest. But I don't see how that would ever happen.
Buying Sega would really beef up Micrsoft's 1st party. I think that if they bought SE as well, they would be able to come in a strong 2nd in the console war. They could cancel Dragon Quest 9 for DS and put it on the 360 lol



I don't know if I want this to be true or not.



completely random, but i would love to get shenmue on the wii with some great motion fighting controls
