Game Forum / PlayStation / PlayStation / July 2006Sega-Sammy Profits Down 93%
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3536&Itemid=2 BUT IT'S NOT SEGA's FAULT - the game division's (Sega) profits are UP. it is SAMMY that is to blame here. pachinko sales being down is the main reason. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112201 Sega should get away from Sammy, and join with either Matsushita / Panasonic or Microsoft. I agree with your idea of Sega merging with Microsoft. However, it's already likely to happen. Microsoft loves to buy companies that are financially unstable. I would love, personally, for Sega's franchises to be exclusive to the XBOX.

Exactly, that's why they need to return to the days where they had gobs of venture capital to blow through coming up with wild new game ideas (as they had under CRI from the late 80s through the early years of this decade). Microsoft certainly has the capital to poor into rejuvenating Sega as the top designer of unique software titles worldwide, and they have the most to gain in brand recognition from those exclusives. Heck, they could even benefit by renaming the 360 with a Sega logo in Japan, at least then they'd stop to see what was on the screen over there...

VF4 probably sold more than all the Xbox Sega games put together. > > I agree with your idea of Sega merging with Microsoft. However, it's > > already likely to happen.

When you have a four times the user base and the Xbox is non existant in Japan that's easy to do. |
