I mean I guess it can't get much worse at Sega when all they can pump out is Yakuza. But this would require them to buy Sammy and I don't see why MS would do that.
Imagine the meltdown if MS went fully Disney and bought Nintendo and Sony?Do sony.
There's the persona series and phantasy starI mean I guess it can't get much worse at Sega when all they can pump out is Yakuza. But this would require them to buy Sammy and I don't see why MS would do that.
This is 100% possible if MS is willing to throw enough money at Sega. What do we think Sega is worth these days? $5 Billion?
To be fair, Sega neither developed nor published SoR4 or SC5VR. They just licensed the IP out. Same for Panzer Dragoon, Rez Infinite... They're kind of letting other people have a go at their old IP.
Sega's got a huge stable of IP, and they still have some pretty solid internal development studios. It's true Yakuza's the thing they milk to death, but MS backing could change that.I mean I guess it can't get much worse at Sega when all they can pump out is Yakuza.

People keep bringing that rumor up but what substance is there to show for it? Where are all these moneyhatted Sony games? Am I to believe they made countless third party games exclusive and have decided to never tell anyone? So far there is FFXVI, which was also simultaneously announced for PC anyway.You act as if Microsoft is the market leader, when its not. Sony is nearly 2,5:1, worldwide and 10:1 in many markets. Oh, and I didnt read so much concern around here when just a couple of days ago there were multiple rumors of Sony approaching every single major publisher to sign exclusivity deals.
SPACE HARRIER!
Yeah, to a truly insane extent. When Nintendo was bullying third parties and Sega was forced to build a library on their own, they would turn out dozens of games during some years in their late 80s/early 90s heyday. Nintendo would put out like six games and Sega would put out like 60 between their console and arcade business. I don't think the industry has seen a developer that prolific before or since.SEGA is not a big company, it always punched above its weight.
They can't afford $180 billion worth of companies. Japanese Government wouldn't allow it either.Imagine the meltdown if MS went fully Disney and bought Nintendo and Sony?
they would then go onto Apple levels of wealth.
Very unlikely. Sammy would have to be willing to part ways with the company and SEGA is now a key part of their business.
That said, it would not be as big of a purchase. SEGA is not a big company, it always punched above its weight.
How did they manage to buy Mikami's studio then?They can't afford $180 billion worth of companies. Japanese Government wouldn't allow it either.
It would also get blocked due to anti-monopoly laws. Microsoft would in one fell swoop control the entire gaming market.

The rest of the games, which were announced before that rumor like that trash Godfall and that stupid looking shooter, are PC releases too.

Because they were under the Zenimax umbrellaHow did they manage to buy Mikami's studio then?

And how did they get into that umbrella at all?Because they were under the Zenimax umbrella
Sega? Why not Sony and Nintendo too?
When I went to the store in charge of selling products, I found a sample on my desk, so I took a close-up.
Product Sales Manager "Oh no, I can't post it yet! Not yet! "
Sega? Why not Sony and Nintendo too?
Financial issues so basically a bailout and then acquisition.And how did they get into that umbrella at all?
Also, does Renault-Nissan ring a bell? lol
Japan loves portable gaming and Xbox wants a slice of that money. They famously don't have IPs that work well in Japan.There's deader than dead and then there's Xbox in Japan. A Microsoft buy out of any Japanese company would be a death knell for so many franchises and IPs.
Would be hilarious the melt downs would break the internet .

Idk why you're laughing. You asked a question and it was answered.Financial issues like Sega Sammy are having in their pachinko business?
Sega Sammy falls to US$31 million quarterly loss as COVID-19 hurts all business segments
Japanese gaming conglomerate Sega Sammy Holdings fell to a loss of JPY3.30 billion (US$31.3 million) in the three months towww.asgam.com
I think that’s for the rumored Sonic Mega Collection.
OMG, Sega Saturn mini incoming?whoa.

Persona 6 on Xcloud would be huge in Asia, if they can get it working.
