If only Nintendo would buy up SEGA after letting Rare (meh), Silicon Knights (NOOO!), and Factor 5 (NOO!) slip away.....hey it could happen!

Nintendo and Sega partnering up would be like Optimus Prime and Megatron commbining forces to take on Unicron (Sony and M$)
well here is my theroy and hope.
I understand a merger hidden from stock holders is unlikely but the next Dream/Cube or the Game/Cast combined together might have enough validity to hold a place in the market.
One of the best 2d makers combined with one of the best 3d makers and console technology to do both could would be a force to reckon with.
At least 2 things nintnedo need to do make it in the next generation and sega could go a long way in helping them.
1st lie. Yes lie about the consule specs. Even send out underpowered dev kits. ONce everyone is at the point of release change the rules and up your specs past the competition. Probably a bit to underhanded for Nintendo but with a line up from Sega and Nintedno as well as the most powerful console what better combo (yes I know power isnt everything but it sadly sells so well to uninformed parents)
2nd make a controller with at least as many buttons as the competition. I would almost be sure nintendo has lost 3rd party games due to lack or adaquate available control.
Perhaps this is slightly off topic but if this were segas announcement ooooooo boy.

unfortuantely it might be an announcement of a departure from the gaming market. though this would'nt make a whole bunch of sense for an E3 announcement they have reduced staff and some of their most fabulous games have been selling less than stellar too....
boy I hope not...
boy I hope not...
Sega cant do anything BUT develop games. what do you think they're going to do start making cars?
Newsflash: they wouldnt do well there
They make software now, they;re partly own by another game company, they are going to continue making games regardless of how poor they sell untill the company is disolved.

[quote name='punqsux'][quote name='jmcc']What Sega should do is partner up with Microsoft and rebrand the Xbox as a Sega console in Japan. It couldn't hurt.[/quote]
like a dagger through my heart wouldnt hurt.
sega is a gaming company, and one of the best, i do not want to see them become a subsideary(sp) of microsoft...nothing more than a dev team to work for a company that i feel really dosent care about gaming.
ever since they said they were out of consoles, ive been wanting them to pair up with nintendo.[/quote]
yup i agree with the pirate, microsoft cashed in on the console hype, it started with some 58yr olds going into the board room to talk about the "xyz generation" as they like to call em. jus look at the size and weight of xbox. and their 1st set of controllers, do they think bigger is better? or is the project manager from texas? where everything is big.

I really don't think it's a negative announcement. At least, that's the way the article at Gamespot made it seem. In the email that was quoted in the article, it seemed really upbeat. I doubt they would make that big a deal out of this if they were announcing they were leaving gaming.

Sega being bought is practically impossible, the comapny is publicly traded, there is no way they can just announce that their company was bought, whoever buys them must buy from shareholders (see Sammy), and it's just all around bad business if Sega isn't letting their shareholders know what's up. A partnership or console exclusivity is possible, but you can't keep the actual acquisition of a publicly traded company secret.[/quote]
Publicly traded companies are bought all the time. If the board of directors and large institutional investors agree that selling is the way to go, it can be fairly quickly done really.
But yeah I'm not sure that is the type of news a company would (or could) sit on and then announce at a trade show. That is a good point.
