Sega was already bought out by Sammy Holdings they're doing ok. The best thing you will get is a partnership with Sega for Japan, where Xbox would be rebranded as a Sega console. MS finally gets their foot in the door in Japanese market in a real way and Sega gets to "return" to the console race albeit only in Japan. But the pipe dream of them being bought out by MS is just that... a pipe dream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Sonic movie makes over $200 million at the box office. Dyno, "Sega is getting bought out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,723 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Buying a third party publisher is pointless because if you dont want their value to tank all their value all the games need to stay multiplat. Dynamite cant pass a logic 101. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even PS is struggling to compete in Japan. Rebranding Xbox as a Sega console won’t do much when they have the same games as PlayStation. Unless Sega starts developing exclusive Japan centric titles for it, I can‘t see it making a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,723 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Apparently its tech related. An arcade board based on PS5 makes sense since its the same days as PS5 reveal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A SEGA branded Xbox in Japan............would be stupid. Do people think that the Japanese are that stupid? At best, maybe they could do a partnership with SEGA to fund some second-party games. After the failure of Shenmue 3, get ready for Shenmue 4!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
