I still bet Sega will do poorly sales-wise regardless.

I managed to post this a little Ahead of PGC, but who really cares. I was never really a Sega lover or liker for that matter anyway.

Man, all these companies are getting in the act of buying Sega.
Nintendo, get your ass in there before Microsoft buys them!
And if MS buys them, the whole industry is dead. This would prove their monopolistic intentions.
Getting a foot in the door? No way. BUYING the bloody door more like it, and getting rid of the foot altogether.

Heard of asset stripping anyone? MS would love to do that. Helps get rid of somebody and get your cash back.

Sega is too big to be brought by anyone company economically, they would be better over auctioning off the parts until thy can form a strong core team of devs. It would certinly reduce the number of games they put out a year, but it would also mean that they can devote more resourses to a given game to make it stand out.

Who wants to buy the door to get in when you can knock it down altogether. Then build your own door in your own image.

yeah. M$ is too arrogant for it's own good. Their latest hit on Nintendo in the 'new Nintendo mascots' thread just sickens me.
Why the hell are they doing this crap?

Anyways, Sega and EA sound good, but then Nintendo and Sega sounds better.
