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...

 

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

 

Ever heard of Sonic Rush, Sonic and the Secret Rings? Sold good without Mario.

Microsoft buying Sega would be horrible, check the Dreamcast.

Yeah, Dreamcast is Sega at their worst. Not a single good game on that system.

I got it, the desperate move to take over japan is they are buying sega and putting all the DC games on XBL to download :P
how about that ??? :P

and the next XBox name will the DreamBox :P

We've got it all sorted out now.....

Sega can make a hell of a lot of money supporting all platforms though...

It had million sellers on PS2, GC, and Xbox last gen. It has million sellers on DS, Wii, and will eventually have some on PS3 & 360. If they went 360 exclusive, I feel like Sega would actually be worth less as a company than it is now, but it would definitely help 360 and X720 especially.

Like what?

He said they WILL EVENTUALLY, not DO.

this would help xbox in japan without a doubt. A new Shenmue would sell in Japan by the bucket load. And Shenmue would absolutely put 360 hardware sales there to over 40,000 when launched.

They fit perfectly together:
Sega can't make games, and MS can't make consoles. A perfect lose-lose!



Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.
