They would just build a giant fortress and trap NOA (which is pretty much right across the street from Microsoft in Redmond) inside with them. Then, NOA is theirs  I've heard that MS has something up their sleeve for E3, but I seriously doubt it's out of any kind of desperation. That's a loaded statement. -Spenser |

I would prefer SEGA to be brought by MS because then maybe will be get some decent, high quality games again that made SEGA famous and loved.
Most of the crap they throw out now it's very poor. Every Sonic game has been poor after Sonic Adventure, Condemed 1 & 2 were both awful aswell. SEGA were much better when thery were in the hardware market, maybe they should re-enter. |

Condemned 1 was awesome, Condemned 2 was alright, could have been better but I agree with the Sonic games, all were rubbish. I doubt Sega will re-enter the hardware market, do they even have enough money and resources to do so? I think Microsoft would only buy them if they did some promising games such as Shemnue 3 and a new Jet Set Radio or something which would be awesome. If Microsoft were to buy Sega then they should do it only with guarantees! |

Condemned both got great reviews... and they were made by Monolith, not Sega. Sega the developer and Sega the publisher are very different beasts.

If SEGA wants to re-enter the market, then they will need to come up with something original in hardware like Nintendo did with the Wii. If it is just another console then it would never stand a chance against the PS3 and Xbox360 (or probably PS4 and Xbox720 by the time they got it out of the door). |

Now that would be kickass! It might happen, as Shenmue II and Jet Set Radio Future were both released on the Xbox.

Now that is damn near impossible. Then again, SEGA did do this before with the Dreamcast. The first console ever to have online play, but it was on dial-up, so it wasn't that good. Look at the consoles now. They're all online! |

As much as I'd like to see Sega re-enter the hardware market it feels like it won't happen.
We really don't know the outcome of Sega's future, hopefully they won't be bought out my Microsoft because that just leaves the potential for future console hardware out the window. |

We'll have to wait for E3 to see what MS has to say. The games they've listed for E3 so far have all been shown already so it's gotta be something big. Or I'd like to hope so.
When is E3 again? July? |

Sigh, I wish Sega re-entered the hardware market also. I loved the Dreamcast, and I still think they could make a kick ass system for the next-gen era down the road. But, it'll probably never happen.

Dreamcast 2 would no doubt kick arse, but throwing another contender into quite a crowded home console market would be a bad idea.
I've always wondered what a Dreamcast 2 would be like. Bet they wouldn't make the same mistakes again, even though the DC did rock, it just didn't get the support it needed. |

If Sega should re-enter the hardware market again, they will have to shoot for a timeframe where MS begins to slow down in crucial areas of its gaming segment, like all game companies do.

What's with all this Sega "re-entering" the hardware market talk? You guys mean the "console" market, Sega still makes arcade hardware. It's why it merged with Sammy.
That said, I think there are lots of smaller 3rd party Japanese devs that MS could buy that would help it better than Sega can. But then again, I'm sure having Segas IP would help as well. We just gotta wait to see what surprises MS has at E3. |
