With all this talk about either Nintendo or Microsoft buying parts-of - or all-of - SEGA, I'm just wondering what you guys think of all this talk as true SEGA fans, even if it is just a load of old bull.
Do you personally think SEGA would be better-off with Microsoft rather than Nintendo? Or do you think that Miyamoto, Naka, and Suzuki together would rule the gaming world together - kinda like they used to, individually?
C'mon...!! You must have been feeling something about all this?

Im really not sure, I tell you what, I would NOT be surprised if Sega where bought out. To be honest, I would think there was more chance of Microsoft buying out Sega than Nintendo, simply because MS has more money to bid, and MS have more of a relationship with Sega.
However, it seems to me that Sega dont want to be bought out and what to be independant, simply because they have decided to secure publishing rights, and increase amount of games produced! If they are being bought out, then why are they going to this great effort to boost their profits??? To me, it seems that Sega are not going to be bought out. They are acting much more independant, indicating that they want to remain a single company....
BUT, when there is money involved, anythign can happen. MS have the bait, which is MONEY and tonnes of it, its whether Sega will fall for that bait or not. To be honest, I would prefer it if Sega remained unbought. Sega should remain single, just like they have always been, like the 'good old days'.
Thanx.

Im hoping Sega wont be bought, that would certainly end years of Sega being Sega!
Sega shouldn't allow themselves to be bought out, but I fear they'll do it, as the executives have no guts, except for their yellow bellies and their lily-livers. It was a bad day for gaming when they announced they would stop making consoles, but to be bought out? Now THAT would be a sad funeral.
Sega 'magical feel' would be ruined by a buy out from microsoft!!
I feel the change will help as long as they don't go to microsoft.
I highly doubt they will be bought. After the Dreamcast collapsed, Sega massively realigned it's focus, and it's owners, SNK decided then that they would keep investing in a company that was making losses year-on-year.
It was about that time that MS would have approached Sega to buy them.
Now that Sega's departments have gone their own ways, with some supporting Ninty, some Sony, some MS and most a combination, it would be a pretty hard thing to buy the whole lot - remember that Sega is one of the worlds biggest in house development companies... 9 departments capable of producing as many games each as, say, Rare...
Add to that the amount of experience in the company...
