I think the relation that Microsoft and Sega have right now is perfectly fine. Sega is doing a fantastic job at cultivating a large fanbase on Xbox without being owned by them, and all from just independently supporting Xbox making sure almost all their releases comes to their system. The Persona ans Yakuza games have been a big welcome and have done a lot to get people taking japanese games and jrpgs more seriously on Xbox and now look at what Square is doing. Sega is doing it right the way theyre doing it right now.
Lol sure
@@BrainWasherAttendentmy guy never touched a persona series in his life
@@Yoshizuyuner I'm literally doing a second playthrough of P4 Golden rn what do you mean
@@BrainWasherAttendent I don't understand what the sarcasm would be for
When you focus on buying, there is a good chance you won’t try innovating.
Very true, so much bloat on one platform would stifle innovation.
Not only that, most of the time it is the developer that us important, not the company. Just look at Rare, Rare is nothing like it was back then after Microsoft bought them, Microsoft and many western vg companies just want their ip, not their Talent.
You mean just like Disney?
@@Mario123007 Many of Rare's talent was already leaving before the buyout, and and many more left not long after.
@@markellhawthorne2921Exactly. Which is why Nintendo didn't want to buy Rare. Rare was heading for a downfall. Plus you know all those broken Sonic games? Nintendo kept hiring their developers just to keep Sega away from the console wars. People don't know what's going on behind the scenes but when they do say something about it companies will out right deny it and erase all evidence.
Kinda like Nintendo Breath of The Wild was heavily inspired by Skyrim because of how much it sold compared to Zelda Skyward Sword now I can't find those developers interviews where they stated that.
If Xbox owns Sega we're gonna get the Sega vs Nintendo console flamewar again. That'll be hilarious. I rather have Xbox own it compared to Sony live service games.
Xbox & Sony should just buy Tweeter. That is where their fanbase plays at 😂
I mean Xbox could 🤷
The only people mad about any company buying up third party developers is Sony point blank. Sony have been doing it for years and nobody has said a damn word about it now that Microsoft is doing it it's an issue.
The only news from SEGA I wanna hear at this point is Valkyria Chronicles 5 announced or at least VC2 remake/remaster and VC3 R Europe release
I think if Nintendo or Sony buys anyone else, it won't be to get IPs, it will be because the studio has talents in something they think they are lacking.
Playstation don't even has games
Nintendo wouldn't need to buy SEGA since former staff of Sonic Team have been going over to Nintendo to work on their major IPs.
Yeah they totally follow that logic, that's why Sony closed their japanese division, everybody knows they produce too many japanese stuff...
😂😂😂😂😂😂 good joke
@@IHateEnglish10282bro what? PlayStation and Nintendo both have more exclusives than Xbox. Xbox keeps making the mistake of immediately making their exclusive games available to Pc. There is no point to having in Xbox since you can have the Xbox game pass on your PC
Your first mistake, you went on twitter.
But in all seriousness i hope we dont get more big name companies being bought and restricted to 1 console
It's called X now to be exact lol.
Ya paying money to restrict games to 1 console is bad 🤷🏻♂️ regulators need to step in and do something about big 3rd party exclusivity deals it’s horrible for consumers
You mean kept off one console and playable everywhere else
If both of them start buying up studios like nothing gaming is screwed
Nooooooooo
You mean if Sony starts buying studios… xbox, PC and Nintendo are good 🤷🏻♂️ Sony will only keep on their console
@@pandagonerogue.140how?
@@pandagonerogue.140 you realize Nintendo keeps to thier console too right?
@@Cyborg647 Nintendo have some of the highest brand name on their console. While they could get other publisher they will still be fine because of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon, I could see them acquired smaller division of a publisher for X reason but I wouldn't say they will need one as a whole.
Software sales are by FAR the WORSE on Xbox.
😂 In what universe would a Publisher want to put their games exclusively on the system where games don't sell??
ABK, Mojang & Bethesda games sell worse on XB too... That didn't stop Xbox from buying them.
The point would be to diversify their portfolio & offer a steady influx & variety of Japanese games. Existing sales isn't the point.
The point is content ownership & FUTURE growth. They're not interested in current units sold, only how they could impact the future value of Game Pass, Xbox & mobile brands.
@@corey2232Yeah they need to do something... Sales wise they have come in last place every single generation with the exception of the last one, and the only reason the Xbox One cam in second place that gen is because the Wii U was the Wii U causing it to hardly sell... Most forget it even existed 😂 THAT was Microsoft's saving grace, Nintendo fumbling it's own bag.
Use numers properly. Overall yes games on xbox sell worse bc there are much more ps consoles in market. But per active user they are on same lvl sometimes xbox even beter.
While the console side exist, the direction they want to go with the xbox brand isn't on the console division but more about expending gamepass on other system (mobile,pc and other console system)
And many of Sonys own IP's sell worse on their own system. Only God of War Ragnorok and Horizon have sold 8 million copies. Everything else has sold very poorly to the install base. So stop the cap. And the numbers for GOWR and HFW is mainly because they are Cross Gen.
Console manufacturers buying anything beyond exclusive rights to a title is never a good thing for gamers. It will always hurt gamers in the end
Exclusive rights arnt good either
@@takagimorisato9021 exclusive rights allow for more risks to be taken as the Dev/publisher aren't taking all of the financial risk, even with new titles in existing franchises (FF XVI was a risk in how it changed up the gameplay and probably wouldn't have been rushed without it), and that's not to mention the financial risk that comes with new IP
Nah, buying exclusive rights to 3rd party games got us into this mess in the first place.
IF a good compnay doesn't acquire entire companies, they will just poach the staff and leave Sega without talented workers but with IP that they don't have staff to develop. Fans will cry and pull their hair because "they won't invest", when in reality everyone who could be hired chooses to make fanfiction and run pom ads from their mom's basement.
Its the still the sane.
Buying a title for exclusive rights is equally appaling with buying the studios themselves.
No devil is lesser than the 2.
3rd party games should exist on all platforms.
OJ, what's the music playing in the background?
What’s the name of the background music
Didnt they tried that before during the dreamcast days and xbox and sega actually have partnership?
Okay, one minute in and I see why you think this is bad. Do you have any indebt analysis other than Japanese games don't sell well on Xbox? This is a gap Xbox needs to fill and your bias won't change that, organic growth!
Well, if Sega put everything Xbox when everybody else has to come buy an Xbox or on PC to play it
At this point, consolidation is going to happen either way. Sony is going to be doing it as well. So, while maybe not a super idea, it wouldn't surprise me. Anything that bolsters their gamepass library makes for more subscriptions.
Agree. Sony might buy Sega to keep it Japanese and keep Xbox out of the Japanese market.
But no real benefit for Sony apart from the above.
Xbox simply needs Sega as the next logical puzzle piece in the Game Pass play.
A lack of competition in any industry leads to apathy and stagnation resulting in inferior output. 🤔🤷♂
I’m just tired of hearing more and more about acquisitions when there are no guarantees that any particular IP or franchise would be making any sort of return.
I can see a partnership. But not an acquisition.
I dont like consolidation like this. Deny they may, having it bought, that "owner" has a say what to make etc. Therefore influencing what might have been not it should be.
For example the activision. They can stand ln their own obviously.
4:08 Bro forgot about Persona 5 Tactica 💀💀
You make good point. I think people won’t like the video because of how it was initially presented.
Either way yeah I think sega should be left alone. Also I love gamepass
It wasn't Playstation first party that made most playstation gamers a fan it was ps1 3rd party exclusives like final fantasy etc if they dont have those 3rd party the ps1 would be nothing
there is a difference between paying for exlusives rights or making a game timed exlusive vs owning the developer and then making only games that the publisher wants
@@obba40 I agree
@@obba40Yes there is a huge difference. Acquiring is making a commitment to fully fund projects and support a Studio and the other is just a complete cop out to keep games away from the competing platforms and their gamers 🤷🏻♂️

Rare was on a downturn before MS bought them up anyway. MS didn't ruin Rare.
He know nothing
We know it is stupid, but it could happen. We saw at the court case that Xbox had a folder with intention of buying square enix
they had a folder with like 20 different names on it. Doesnt mean anything
This is pretty much how I feel about people saying Sony should buy Square Enix. I swear they only want that because they're nostalgic for when Square worked with Sony during the PS1 days.
Square typically avoids Xbox anyways. They are a Japanese market where Sony performs MUCH better. It took this long for FFXIV to be on Xbox, because it won’t sell well. Now Xbox conditioned their supporters to expect to not pay for games. Microsoft acquiring anything is bad news.
@NostraSamus While that may be true. I won't shill against that. Square's game also sell well on the Switch as well as when the come to PC. And Square is showing they want to stay multi-platform with them putting their games on XBox anyways. I just don't think it's a good idea for Sony to buy them. Especially since Sony also has its own issues too.
@@Keyblade-Knight Square-Enix ain´t even a good purchase if Sony is looking for a game studio. S-E is fairly open about shareholder meetings and financial data. For Sony Computer Entertainment it would be a loss. Sega has the same issues S-E regarding being acquired by a console manufacturer. The two should merge, Square-Enix-Sega that would be the ultimate third party media company,
Sony should buy like Idea Factory International, Inc. .
I mean it makes sense for Sony to buy square as that’s the original market for their games
@@bossmannn3415 Sony made discmans and was a recordlabel back in the day, They own TaylorSwift.
we are about to see a gaming industry where 99% of the gaming industry will be bought by sony, microsoft, tencent, amazon, embracer group and I feel like that is a bad thing for the industry
Xbox buying Activision/Blizzard is bad for us too.
For us Xbox uses, Nintendo uses, Cloud uses and mobile this deal is a good thing.
More games for more and more people, a lot of people can play Call of duty now
Activision buying Blizzard to begin with kinda screwed up Blizzard. I guess some people are hoping that Microsoft can reverse the business tactics of Activision, but I don’t see it. I enjoy my Series X, but I don’t see Microsoft actually improving how gaming studios produce games unless they themselves completely change up how they manage their studios and games.
@@fishingmule3266I believe when I see it it was probably for the best that they were brought
bet you were one of the people who cried about bobby kotick being evil and now want him to stay in change of activision
",for US" = PS fanboys.
That new 2D Sonic well sell best on Nintendo.
There is no telling what Diddy Kong Racing or DK would had been like overtime if Microsoft never bought Rare.
Not to mention all the original ip from next level that Nintendo inherited when they bought them
0:04 it’ll never happen but if Xbox ever bought sega then Nintendo or platinum would have to react and buy Bayonetta from sega first
I'm whatever if this acquisition is happening, I'm sure the games will still coming to Nintendo platforms, depends tbh
Nintendo should start doing more partnerships tho, seeing GREZZO doing mobile games for apple arcade and Game Freak making a game with another 3rd party publisher is a bit concerning...
Neither are owned by Nintendo, so they're free to do what they want.
I think there will be a partnership with sega.
The only thing i would be okay with Square is buying individual ips or developer teams. I dont really care for the newest final fantasy games or forspoken or these graphic showcases who prioritise graphics over depth and gameplay so Sony can have them. But not the whole company where they drop development of double a rpgs just to make another 3rd behind the shoulder narrative action game
Many valid points made here.
I’m sure Netflix is such a great paragon of quality content that we’re all eager to see more historic game studios go down the drain in a similar corporate, fast food game distribution outlet.
🤦🏽♂️
Weird since the only one killing studios right now its Playstation
Its gonna happen sometime because Xbox needs a greater presence in the Japanese market. Cant surrender that chunk to Sony.
Xbox also needs more JRPG and childrens content in its portfolio.
Who fits that bill?: Nintendo.
But thats not feasible for many reasons I wont get into.
So whos next? Sega!
Compared to Nintendo, Sega is performing waaaaay below its potential. Its also tied up in a business thats not exclusively focused on digital entertainment. Also has a history of folding (out of console market at least) and getting sold off.
Sega also has a ton of IP in need of redevelopment. All that Wii stuff is perfect for padding out Game Pass. Microsoft has the bottomless warchest to make Sega dreams come true.
I know you may not want to see Sega acquired, but its gotta happen soon enough.
Great video OJ!
While I don't disagree with your overrall argument, while I do enjoy the acquisition speculation personally I will acknowledge some people take it way too far or even worse make it their sole/primary personality trait which is sad (and I say that as the person who made that banner lol), despite that I do find their to be some fundamental issue's, inconsistancies or miss understandings within your arguments which I want to adress...but before I do I just want to preference this by making it clear I don't at all care about SEGA and find them to be the most mid publisher in gaming, unironically if it wasn't for ATLUS I would find Ubisoft more intresting as a publisher, regardless these are issues I noticed:
1st of all you mentioned the size of SEGA which is completely countered by the activision acquisition, while yes they were in a controversal position nothing came from it outside of a small fine and their finatials in 2021 were still increasing year over year. The exact same logic can be applied to activision yet they sold since being successful doesn't prevent you from being acquired, it just means you can likely nagotiate a better premium for your shareholders...which activision clearly did.
This is likely you not knowing but we know microsoft was considering buying SEGA in late 2020 due to a leaked email from Phil Spencer in the court case were the concerns of exclusivity are made null and void as I quote:
"Game Transactions - We will continue to sell acquired games and franchises across all game platforms. Previously unavailable titles on Xbox will be brought over to the platform for additional monetization opportunities, and future titles will no longer observe a delay of launching on Xbox"
So in other words from Microsoft's own internal plans they would keep games like Sonic, Persona, Yakuza, SMT, Sakura Wars, Bayonetta, Puyo Puyo, Virtual Fighter and so on wouldn't only be kept on all platforms but would come to all platforms day & date...they do mention subscription service exclusivity though
I want to comment on the stuff you said on rare, mainly it is rares decision not to work on Banjo anymore which makes complete sense they don't want to, all the classic rare team is over at playtonic...but I don't get why you are blaming Microsoft for that when its clearly Nintendo fault as rare wanted Nintendo to buy them but they just didn't so rare put them up for sale and Microsoft was the biggest bidder...but their were other bidders too...like activision LMAO so if you would of prefered that reality go off I guess
You bring up the laws surrounding forign companies buying Japanese companies being hard which it technically is but this is a thing with any acquisition with an outside Country as they want to protect their public security, only core industries in Japan are actually protected and then it is just standard acquisition law outside of it being guarenteed to go to a phase 2, this is why Microsoft considered not only buying SEGA but also Square Enix as revealed by the court case, because people always over estemate how hard it really is when it isn't a drastically different from any other acquisition...and your point about it now being easy cos someone like tencent hasn't is beyond weak cos the same logic could of been applied to activision or bethesda since a major USA publisher hadn't been bought yet...also the PR attempt from the FTC was basically laughed out where they just had to prove they had a likely chance of winning so for all the people saying Microsoft is close to a monopoly...court would disagree
SEGA did make a comment when asked about the leaked document and they just answer how you would expect any company to answer...aka a non answer, they said "not now" which could literally translate to we are being bought tommorow but not today lol and SEGA is currently worth about $5B so with the premium probably about the same amount as Bethesda was (maybe a little less, maybe a little more)
Fan who never do a multi million dollar business talk like they good at marketing than people who do business for living. Funny. I use Game Pass it’s okey but some game lost in time because of it.
Nintendo doesn’t wanna buy anyone but if they had to they’d probably buy platinum and mercury steam because of that Nintendo dna
If Xbox bought Sega and Capcom, they would be a legitimate competitor in Japan/Asian markets
Literally brute-forcing their way into the market instead of making content themselves that would entice people to their system?
@@daRealB-Rex yup
at this rate these weirdos will be saying xbox will buy every company ever made
They already are 😂
And you can be sure that PS fanboys Will cry AND make videos for each studio or publisher out there bruh.
Go play some video games yall
Thanks for your input . I'm curious what's the reasons why Sega and Xbox thinks this is a gd idea to counter argue your reasons here
I had to google Sega and Atlus when you mentioned Persona. I didn't know Atlus was owned by them lol. Granted, I haven't played a Persona game. But I don't think Sega is what Microsoft is after right now though, seems more like people are creating a lot of noise because of the documents that were made public regarding possible Microsoft acquisitions.
Microsoft wants japanese content, Smartphone content and PC content
SEGA have all of them
Sega needs to make a new console
Sony will destroy Sega again lol
They do not lol
@@bossmannn3415 what do you mean if Sega could make a console thats just as powerful as the PS5 it would create more competition
I don’t think we need more consoles not doubting there ability though
That’s why I respect Nintendo they prefer building relationships with studios like HAL, game freak, intelligent system, and Koei Tecmo instead of just buying up their competitors.
Sure 😂😂😂😂
I a sure that have nothing to do that Nintendo does not have the money...
@@anterosauditore5850 they can buy intelligent systems, or Hal, and even game freak they just choose not too because they don’t wanna be like Microsoft
@@cherrypie581 are you sure abouth that? 🤣
Maybe you need to come back to reality 💀 remember that last gen Nintendo almoust went backrupt right?
Wil microsoft can afford to even buy the wole Nintendo if they feel like it.
@@anterosauditore5850 they wouldn’t that would put Microsoft in way more legal trouble then they are with activision since they’re also a console manufacturer and of the big three.
Not exactly the company combination I'd find ideal, in fact I find Nintendo buying Sega to be a more interesting conversation. Even though that's not gonna happen since Nintendo doesn't need to do that.
Isn't SEGA part of Sammy SEGA or something? Meaning they're a lot bigger than just games.
Yes. Xbox its nothing to buy the wole company. Just the "Sega" part of It.
I thought this was going to come from a neutral standpoint you really went off on a crazy fanboy tangent.
Why do people think large corporations buying up other companies is a good idea? It usually just results in people getting screwed and especially when it comes to games, because games becoming console exclusives that weren't previously may end up losing a lot of sales and the series may end up dying off because it is no longer as profitable as it once was.
Console exclusivity deals also also better for developers when the company that owns the console doesn't own the developer, because then the company that owns the console will give the developer a huge sum of money for a console exclusivity deal. If that company owns the developer, then the developer creates a game for a single console and gets nothing extra in return. So if the game doesn't sell as well, then the developer hurts financially and the company that owns the developer will then blame that failure on the developer, which will likely result in the cancellation of a game series that didn't meet sales expectations and possibly the dissolving of the developer if multiple games don't sell as well as the huge corporation expects, which will probably be unreasonably high.
My guess would be that Microsoft would axe at least half of the development teams listed at the bottom of that image within 5-6 years. If Microsoft were to drop them, then they couldn't continue because the company would still be owned by Microsoft and even if former employees formed a new company together, they couldn't continue to make games in a series they once created because Microsoft would now own those IPs and probably wouldn't sell them even if they never planned to do anything with them again. Atlus would probably be one of the first developers Microsoft would drop, which would be a huge shame because they are one of the very few AAA developers I still find interesting these days.
Source: Trust me bro
@@felipesantos-er4kk No, the source is video game history and what I am describing has happened before. If you are leaving a comment like that, then it is clear that you aren't aware of this situation so I will give you a short history lesson. Here are some developers, some of them very influential and highly regarded in their time, who were purchased by a large corporation (EA in these cases) and then shut down by that same corporation, some just within a few years or after just having one game underperform in sales.
Some examples are Pandemic Studios (who made Star War: Battlefront I & II as well as the Destroy All Humans! games), Bullfrog Productions (who created the Populous series and also worked on the Dungeon Keeper series), Origin Systems (who created the Ultima series, which is one of the most influential Western RPG series of all time that also had a considerable influence on early JRPGs), Westwood Studios (who created the Command & Conquer series), DreamWorks Interactive (who created the Medal of Honor series), and Mythic Entertainment (who created Dark Age of Camelot).
EA also retained ownership over the IPs these developers created and they even had other developers create games in these series for less pay after axing the original developers of a series. So much for appreciate or gratitude, but these are actually common ways that large corporations think. If a name will sell itself, then they no longer need the people who created the name because they'll make a larger profit if they pay someone else less to do the work on the project. So when large corporation buy a developer, they may be more interested in owning the intellectual property of that developer's work than they are the developers themselves.
Large corporations in any industry also typically engage in layoffs when they buy another company for the sake of making their new investment as profitable as possible for them as soon as possible. If you don't understand this, then you should research historical corporate acquisitions and see what actually happens when a large corporation buys a smaller company as well as looking into how corporate executives think so you can understand why they do this. Reading interviews with them where they explain their decisions can be a good starting point on that topic. Some of them are even willing to say the quiet part out loud, so you can get some brutal honesty about corporate decision-making in interviews like that.
Why are you acting Soo consern?

Deam even Nintendo has money lock bayonetta away
@@anterosauditore5850 So your argument is that because bad things happen to games, that no one should be concerned about it? Maybe I have misinterpreted your argument, and I apologize if I did, but this honestly doesn't make any sense to me at all.

10:38 Nintendo didn’t even seek them out next level went to Nintendo and said hey do u wanna buy us
Surprised they didn’t do that for alpha dream but oh well
nor did they do that for Rare despite it literally being confirmed info that Rare wanted Nintendo to buy them out
The biggest mistake Nintendo made was not buying Rare before Microsoft did. Some of the best N64 games were made by Rare.

OJ did u see that video i tag u in
If they buy them they will do what always do. RUIN it and destroy it til the point of not even knowing what it originally was. They would destroy the franchises with loot boxes and micro transactions.
I don’t want anyone to buy Sega. I don’t really have an XBox and I don’t plan on buying an XBox. I do have a Switch, a PS5, and a pc and I have all my old Nintendo and PlayStation consoles etc.
For the most part I want to play Sonic on my Switch. Like you say Microsoft owns Rare which they have older characters I’d rather see than just Sea of Theives so I mean….yeah I don’t think buying companies is a solution.
Nintendo makes my favorite games Zelda, Mario, Smash Bros, etc. other developers are fine I like Sony games and things. I’m somewhat picky about games I like but yeah. Nintendo even has franchises I love like the Mother series but I don’t think we’ll get Mother 3 in English I have the translation but I’d love Mother 4.
Please no. Just let SEGA be SEGA. That's at least ONE Publisher that doesn't release soulless Triple A bullshit, but amazing unique games.
Bethesda acquisition: I personally don’t care. Don’t hate it but I’m not for it either.
Activision acquisition: I am for it. The past games will/could be revived and it could benefit the gaming industry
Sega: I’m honestly nervous. I would be neutral but if the games remain multi platform, then my concerns would be eased.
Why they are going to keep the Sega games multiplataform if PS keeps money locking 3rd party games?
@@anterosauditore5850 Sony locked Bethesda and Activision games. Thankfully they haven’t touched Sega yet. Still, either way I would be neutral
Rare fits with xbox.Conker was more successful on xbox than Nintendo and perfect dark a first person shooter will do better on xbox
Leave Sega alone. Man, they are a shell of what they were, and sure, they forgot they have fantastic IP's, but let them be..
They're on the upswing IMO. Sonic is doing better these days with the movie and Frontiers. Yakuza is becoming a much larger franchise. Atlus games are performing well. And apparently they're reviving Jet Set Radio
@athorem unless you lived the Master System days and 80s arcades... man, nintendo had a monopoly, so everything that came out on the Master System was Sega hoofing it. Then you watch them go down the tube because they didn't have the confidence Nintendo had, and SOJ and SOA couldn't work as a team. Sad. Very depressing.
@@joeb2588 Well yeah, they're not going to be as big of a production as when they were a console manufacturer. And unless they go back to making consoles you're not going to see as much hype around Sega. They can't really be restored to their former glory, but they can become a company like Capcom that puts out banger after banger on multiple consoles. And that's really the best thing for everyone.
And just being realistic, their games probably will never resemble the arcade days again. Sega had to prioritize longer games because the arcade-like games started to sell less on consoles. That's why Sega is making so many RPGs these days
@@athorem yah, true
This video has made me want m$ to buy Sega before I thought it was not needed but after listening to your video Microsoft should buy them
Imagine Xbox buying sega would be pretty awkward due to nso having sega games part of there whole service
NSO have Rare games.
no Microsoft is allowing select rare games on NSO so it wouldn't be unusual territory lol
I mean there are Bethesda games in the PS plus collection, and rare games on NSO, and Banjo + Steve in Smash, and Microsoft has committed to release COD for Nintendo. I actually think the relationship MS has with Nintendo is pretty good. Probably MS + Nintendo have a better relationship than Nintendo + Sony, and definitely a better relationship than MS + Sony.
This Microsoft should buy Sega is just as bad as the Sony fanboys wanting Sony to buy SquareEnix
If Sega is still an Japanese company, Japan won't allow the buyout as they have a law against non-Japanese companies buying up Japanese companies. Atlus is still based in Japan too so MS would have much harder time trying to buy them out.
Exactly. Even OJ failed to consider that.
6:40 he literally mentions Japan having laws on buying out there company
That’s not true at all. Sharp was bought buy a Taiwanese company a few years ago and they are much bigger than Sega
@ssssssstssssssss That IS true. Taiwan buying Sharp is NOT the same situation as a hypothetical situation in which America's Microsoft Xbox were to buy out SEGA(Service Games). Taiwan is an Asian country. The United States is not. Think on that one, to better understand.
@@ssssssstssssssss Sharp is a Japanese company and Japan is connected to Taiwan so in a strict sense, only Asian companies can buy other Asian companies, no western companies can ever buy most Asian companies especially Japanese companies.
Its all about thier back cataloge that sega has left to rot. Phantasy Star, shining force, and more importantly skies of Arcadia need a revival. Ms having these games would fill a gap that ms doesnt have in asian companies. Shinobi, golden axe, streets of rage. Gunstar hero, vectoman. The potential of combining the similar but long gone eternal champions with ms own killer instinct. Echo the dolphin. Remastering these in the vein of the extremely popular streets of rage 4 would be huge for game pass.
Xbox couldn't even develop a proper triple A under their own company look at halo infinity, Microsoft will destroy sega if they own them
Your acting like all sega ip is guaranteed to be console exclusive. The games that won't be profitable if they only release on xbox and pc will obviously go on other consoles.
All this is about is getting annoyed that there would be console exclusives. If one games company can do exclusives, all can.
You don't like gamepass do you
If anything, Sega needs to jump back into the hardware market. Make a console filled with mid level games that are unique.
HELL NO!!!
It smart for Microsoft. If I were them, I'd buy them and, whenever my next console was due to launch, I'd rebrand it (just in asia) to Sega.
But I see nothing in it for Sega - unless Xbox pay silly money.
I don't understand why they don't do this anyway. I'm sure SEGA would be happy to market Xbox (or the SEGA whatever console name) and take like 50% of the profit in Asia. It'd be a fantastic way to ensure that SEGA released their games on Xbox for the foreseeable future too.
@@JosephF.Sega wouldn’t take 50% of the profit because all of that money would go to Microsoft corporate
@@daRealB-Rex no I mean, it'd be great if Microsoft would make an agreement like that with SEGA for Japan. They could definitely sell double the consoles, and so make up for giving half the profit to SEGA.
*It's Gonna Happen* 💁😂
Based on what evidence?
Rovino would be owned by Microsoft oh the kino
Microsoft is the definition of buying success instead of earning success. Say what you want about the UK trying to block the Activison deal but I’m pretty sure they are still upset how Microsoft ruined Rare which is a theory I have
😂😂😂😂☮️
How did Microsoft get the money to buy success then? It couldn't be from Microsofts success in windows? or offices? or cloud? or AI? Like Microsoft has 100% earned their position just like all the other big techs, and I will say this about the UK regulators...as a UK citizen I am annoyed they are wasting my tax payer money...also I don't get why people blame Microsoft for rare, Nintendo had every oppitunity to buy them up but instead they stopped at a 49% stake, be annoyed at Nintendo not Microsoft
How Microsoft saved rare* rare was dying before Xbox acquired It and keep It opened.
Bro UK don’t give af about rare I’ll tell you that
Sony bought their way into the industry but it's ok nintendo bought monolith but that's ok. A majority of sega games were on the original xbox at the time. If I was sony ppl would be screaming how great it is buying sega. I just don't like the double standard
Are you comparing a niche dev like Monolith to SEGA?
While some people champion buying devs, I think a lot of people would be vocal against it either way.
@@NuiYabukoare you saying that games like Xenoblade Chronicles are noche? Bruh It sold More than Most of the Sonic games 😂
Monolith crushes sega today lol
1000% this is what I’ve been saying to people, but they don’t care. They don’t care that Rare IPs are dead. It sucks.
We have rare IPs coming bruh.
Nintendo have alot of dead iOS, PS have a lot dead ip. I dont see you crying for ir.
personally for me I only really partake in maybe 5 AAA games a year, at least new ones, and mostly always just play older games and indies. At the rate gaming is going it will go down hill imo, this very much reminds me of middle eastern companies buying up sporting teams that is killing normal sports, but thankfully because I don't much care for most shitty aaa games these day I just kinda don't mind, but I feel bad for the ones who do, unfortunate stuff
it makes more sense if nintendo buys sega
Nintendo makes 1 small acquisition every 7 years dude.
You have some valid points but it seems that hang on to old Xbox back in the Don Matrick days, the New Xbox is different, their allowing their developers to work on what they want to work on if they wanted to bring back the Old Rare they would
What they should do is use some of their cash to get one of their studios to competently make a new Banjo and Conker. They could even dig deep to make something like a Jet Force Gemini, Banjo racing, Blast Corps, or Kameo reboot. If no internal Xbox studio wants to do it, they can use their cash to hire good 3rd party developers to make them. They also should have gotten Mistwalker to make something new for them years ago. It’s possible none of these games alone will sell all that well, but they need some diversity of exclusives to improve their brand. I like my Series X for 3rd parties, but I’d like some good 1st party games aside from FPS games for once.
doubt
@@fishingmule3266those studios dont want to make another banjo or Conker game 🤷🏻♂️ that its all.
Bajo sales are low and Conker has ALWAYS flod.
@@anterosauditore5850 if they don’t want to make those games, Microsoft can fund a 3rd party studio to make them. I’m sure some competent studio would love to make them. They don’t need to sell that much. Microsoft just really needs the variety. The only first party game from Microsoft I played all the way through this gen has been Pentiment (which was phenomenal btw).
I’m here for the manufactured drama and cringe!! Let’s get it boys
MS is good at 3 things.
1. Throwing money to buy publishers.
2. Making more of the same controllers with different colors and themes
3. Making weird props with the game titles
But they can’t manage games. SEGA will be dead in the hands of MS.
Stop lying kid
@@felipesantos-er4kk sorry I’m not Phil.
the biggest problem with MS is that they just haven't been doing enough management at all. For the most part they have just let everyone do what they want. Microsoft didn't force Redfall out etc. Zenimax did. If MS bought SEGA, it would probably mean SEGA games only come to Xbox and PC, and release on Gamepass, but it would not likely mean anything else.
@@ericblack3742Phil has not lie xD not like Jym lyiang.
Xbox can manage their studios 🥱 there Is a reason why PS only have 1 exclusive 1st party game this year and Xbox have 3
Sega is a subsidiary of Sega Sammy so people who think Sega being bought is not that simple. Since Sammy main focus is pachinko, they have the ips from Sega to make different themed machines from. Selling Sega would result in them losing a large chunk of their income, which is not a wise business choice
Sammy main focus its Hotels and gyms dude lol
@@anterosauditore5850 straight from their website.Entertainment Contents and Pachislot and Pachinko Machines businesses performed strongly year on year and the recovery of performance in Resort business progressed. As a result, consolidated net sales were up 21.4% year on year to ¥389.6 billion.
Operating Income
Entertainment Contents and Pachislot and Pachinko Machines businesses performed strongly year on year and losses in Resort business has narrowed. As a result, operating income were up 45.9% year on year to ¥46.7 billion.
Sammy's main income comes from entertainment, pachislot and pachinko divisions.
Just because Microsoft is gobbling up studios like this does not guarantee good games. We all know what happened to Rare.
I keep telling people that lol they just wanna ignore it
Nah, Microsoft new strategy is just throwing money and let those studios doing their thing.
So far Obsidian, Double Fine, Tango Gameworks, Playground games have been doing great.
They created their most sucsesfull project/ip?
Ponies are REALLY desesperate 😂😂😂
@@devronbutlerTelling lies?
Dude, the opening line to this video is way too true. I'm an entrepreneur & ethical capitalist with a a bit of experience producing indy games, and the results of these kinds of moves are always anti-consumer. Budget will go up (so prices will keep climbing), and dev timelines will extend (in large part due to studio bloat & bureaucracy), but quality will go down. "Let's spend an extra $100mil having 500 people take that formula that worked that one time, change the skin in 2 minor ways, add a mechanic, and sell it for $70-- wait, no, actually $75 this time..." fuuuuuuun....
Nothing of that is anti-consumer though.
Xbox would rebrand their console in Japan as a Sega product. That would improve their standing in Japan along with Sega’s and Atlus’ games as first party software. I disagree with you OJ, Microsoft owning Sega would help Microsoft immensely in Japan. Good for the industry? Probably not, but it wouldn’t be the end of video games as we know them either.
It's stupid for any western video game company to buy a Japanese video game company period lol.
No it isnt
@Geeksquad59 ignore him he's a sonypony probably 😊
@@donaldduck73 lol how am I a Sony pony? Ad hominem at its finest.
@@pastqr it is stupid lol, especially with Sony when jp vg devs will always have their games on PS5 and Switch.
You're right, it is stupid for MS to even consider buying Sega when Japan will never allow it due to the laws against Western companies buying Japanese companies.
I can't believe that people is ignoring this simple fact.
Nintendo fans should chill the F up and enjoy their 720p gaming experience 🤷🏻♂️ just get an xbox for other games.
I like how Microsoft is acting like a spoiled kid that lost and so they want to buy everything so they can force people to buy their system. People who play Xbox don't want innovation or japanese style games, they want their FPS and sports games. Sales of games on xbox backs that up.
Bro Microsoft literally wants to ditch xbox and put game pass on PS and switch, it is Sony and Nintendo not allowing it...also I am pretty sure the most popular games on PS are also shooters and sports games so I am not sure what point you are trying to make. These are casual games which casuals make up most of the gaming audience
Wait japanese games are innovation? Bruh dont be a weirdo kid.
Xbox just overrated the only reason why people have an Xbox is the other person has one that's it, Sony PS5 all the way, go for a company that actually make TVs and video with the hell do you want to go to a third-rate PC Microsoft that don't have any ties to the entertainment venue and I don't just mean sports actual games people want to play......
Ps is the overrated out of the big 3
I totally agree. I like playing elder scrolls on my ps4 now that Microsoft has brought them I can't enjoy the new elder scrolls
I totally agree. I like playing Spiderman on my Xbox now that Playstation has money lock the rights i cant enjoy the new spiderman
@anterosauditore5850 that's why building rights to a ip or entire game company is not good for us the gamer.
@@opticgamer3731 but since PS its doing It. It means its good for competition.
@anterosauditore5850 both is bad.
Leave Sega alone it would be a sad day if they got brought out I wish Sega would make a skies of acadia complete remake for PS5 and XBOX
What make them think Sega even want to sell at the first place? Not every game company is money hungry like Activision
their public, they have a literally legal obligation to maximise shareholder wealth so if they didn't engage discussions one could argue they are worse than activision since activision was at least priorities their company owns aka shareholders
Sega is also owned by Sega Sammy so it's up to the Parent company not the subsidiary
@@qrowthebird7496 and the parent company is publicly traded so if Microsoft just decided to buy the parent company then sell off or spin off the sammy end which has stuff Microsoft likely doesn't want to be in e.g. pachinko their isn't much they could do to stop them lol
GamePass!
This MF whats to compare the 68 billon acquisition of Activixon with the 2-4 billons that Sega will cost LOL
