[Alucardx23]

Is there something here or am I seeing things?

Edit: The party is over.

[Berordn]

if you tilt your head further you might see giants too

 

[ReturnOfThaMack88]

Well shit I guess welll found out at TGS

 

[DNAbro]

Cmon man

they have already partnered on a ton of stuff

 

[Plinkerton]

Yes because it's normal for corporate acquisitions to be teased in this way.

 

[TronLight]

I hope this is a troll, otherwise you should maybe get checked.

 

[data west]

MS buying Sega has been a persistent rumor since2001

 

[Herey]

Welp I'm convinced

 

[Shadow2222]

That controller does look amazing though

 

[retrobotjr]

Actually the clean and simple bit means they are buying the rights to the character Sora and that's all

 

[Zonal Hertz]

Literally what benefit would MS have in teasing this...?

 

[B1ggRandall]

DreamCast 2 coming!! New VF! Im here for it!

 

[Lord Fanny]

Man this weird obsession with MS and Sega is such a strange thing

 

[Foltzie]

Yes because it's normal for corporate acquisitions to be teased in this way.

Indeed, stock markets and securities regulators love that kind of stuff.

edit: /s

 

[Strat]

Haha...hahaha

Microsoft buying Sega? Yes. Anyone buying anything is a weird obsession. Microsoft and Sega have a history though, so MSxSega isn't so strange a concept.

 

[Tagg]

No red on the controllers otherwise this would be 100% true.

 

[Rotobit]

I mean you could make the argument that the first tweet is confirming a Kingdom Hearts buy-out with Aqua as the protag of KH4.

Eventually it just becomes a case of projection and seeing what you want to see

 

[LewieP]

I feel like a multi year deal to put all Sega games on Game Pass would be more likely than an exchange of equity.

 

[JCizzle]

*insert Charlie in the mailroom.gif*

 

[Outrun]

Sega Series X - Sonic Founders Edition

 

[klauskpm]

No

 

[JayCB64]

 

[spookyduzt]

Could you imagine Yakuza exclusive on Xbox/PC?

 

[Nephtes]

If someone does buy Sega, can we have new entries in Shining Force, Golden Axe and Phantasy Star Offline? Please?

 

[Remark]

Yall want SEGA to be bought out so bad lmao relax.

 

[Steo]

Get your tinfoil hats on.

 

[LifeLine]

What were all the Bethesda teases?

I remember the pic of Todd Howard eating cup noodles inside of a cardboard box to tease their future acquisition by Microsoft.

 

[bsigg]

 

[Guymelef]

 

[Bosch]

They are a public company. Repeat with me they are a public company. To buy a public company this would be public. Got it? Good

 

[Gloam]

Some of you guys need jesus

 

[Weiss]

This person is clearly demonstrating their support for Cyclops.

[Jraphics Horse]

Yes there is no possible way two companies can collaborate without one acquiring the other.

 

[Niklel]

Oh that's cool, I like those "conspiracy theories".
But why tho?

 

[Alien Bob]

Sega buying Xbox confirmed

 

[BoxScar]

This is Death Standing is MGS levels of conspiracy.... and I'm all for it!

 

[Iwao]

Explain why there's no red on the controller, wise guy.

 

[Sejanoz]

I want to believe

 

[purseowner]

Pretty sure we'll see some sort of deal announced at TGS. Too many signs with the Yakuza timed-exclusivity, etc.

 

[Deleted member 12555]

This is why I come to resetera

 

[Xadra]

Please, stop. Don't make a fool of yourself. Microsoft buying Sega isn't happening.

 

[Lord Fanny]

Haha...hahaha

I meant all of it. It's weird to me even if there was a brief history in the OG Xbox days

 

[Josh5890]

There are reaches, and then there is this....

 

[lost7]

Persona 6 exclusive to Xbox has a ring to it lol

 

[Weebos]

The truth is out there.

 

[R0987]

The xbox series S will be sold as the sega dreamcast 2 in Japan.

 

[IIFloodyII]

They are publicly traded company, it wouldn't be a secret if they were in talks to be bought.

 

[RecRoulette]

Clearly this is what they're announcing in their TGS Showcase. Along with the Series SEGA

 

[Rotobit]

Also the second tweet is about a product manager throwing up the "no" symbol to cover up the super secret game gear mini stuff, that presumably came out of the cardboard box in front of them

There's even an emoji of the gesture right there

 

[MrMiyamoto]

There's more too, the official Xbox Twitter's replies to people's comments about the controller have mentioned the design "[joining] the family" and used a Japanese-y Sailor Moon gif.
