Playstation brand>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sega brand? i stopped reading there shadow sony soldier.

Sega developed games will always >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the tiny few games sony ever could be assed actually developing.

Kerching.............. heres comes the chequebook again "sony rep quote"

Sega is in trouble, but I don't think they are going anywhere - at least for the near to mid future.

For those saying that Nintendo should buy them, I agree. However, Sega asked Nintendo to buy them out before, and Nintendo refused. I think Nintendo and whats left of Sega could do wonders with the stable of IPs that Sega has. Sadly, I don't see it happening.

For those saying that Sony has done more than Sega, well, you are obviously too young to remember a lot of the legendary Sega IPs. Plus, Sega was the first company to duke it out with Nintendo and hold their ground. For anyone who remembers, Yu Suzuki and Yuji Naka were legendary designers.

For the record, MS screwed over Sega as much if not more than Sony did (WinCE on the DC).

For the good of gamers, Nintendo needs to buy Sega, but I doubt they will because they probably don't see Sega's IPs as being compatible. It's a shame though.

barring that...

For the good of themselves, MS needs to buy Sega, and slap their name on their hardware (I'm thinking Japan especially). If MS were smart, they would have acquired Sega last time and released the "Sega X-Box". It would have gone a lot farther in Japan.

Guys, leave him. It's a lost cause. Let's just go back to the real world and leave Ronster in 1991.

Right well I just want to know is it possible to just buy the IP without having to buy the dev studio?

Yes it is possible to buy an IP, but in this case, why not go for the whole enchilada (Sega has loads of good IPs) and I would bet that you'd get the company for less than if you tried to buy the IPs piece by piece.

I have a better idea montana, lets leave you thinking that sony are well respected in this business for their development skills as opposed to their buying skills.

1991?

thats funny, i remember playing Fighters megamix in 1997.

Shenmue in 1999

Virtua tennis in 2000

Condemned: criminal origins in 2006

and Virtua fighter 5 in 2007.

Plus many more inbetween............ Sega rally, daytona USA, Jet set radio, Panzer dragoon, Streets of rage, Shinobi ect.

Thats hardly 1991 is it.

Can someone tell me how to get the ignore function? Idiots frustrate me for their lack of understanding

Tonight i fought in Sega's corner without ONCE calling anybody in this thread any wrong names.

According to you i'm an idiot.

Congratulations.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We don't need chic but overpriced hardware, nor do we need yet another faction of fanboys.  There are some Mac Mavens that make even the staunchest fanboys on this site look tame.

Shadow Sony Soldier...Yeah you didnt mean that as an insult? And if you want to save your self by saying wrong names then I don't see what you mean by calling anyone a wrong name. I called you an idiot for your lack of comprehension. As I see it you are. Nuff Said
