I would rather them buy Mystwalker so that they can make a fukkin sequel to Lost Odyssey.:stopitslime:
Microsoft and Sega partnership predates the Dreamcast, not just that, Microsoft been wanting Sega for ages and seeing how they turned themselves around after their downward spiral, plus owning Atlus. That alone would fukk up the industry if they get Sega, but in return, Nintendo and Sony loses out big time on not having games like Shin Megami Tensei and Yakuza on their platforms.

Also, Sonic the Criphog always turn a profit so that's easy money, Phantasy Star might gain a resurgence in the west and with their old ips, you pretty much become a behemoth.

Why didn't they buy Sega after the Dreamcast folded?

I think either the deal fell thru (more than likely) or they ran into an issue on trying to get them. You also have to remember that Sega former parent company ceo bailed them out before he died, so they got themselves out of bankruptcy, but was in the red and they end up merging with Sammy in the end.

The switch 2 is gonna suffer the same problems as the Wii U.

How exactly? The problem with the Wii U was that marketing for it was god awful. Most people thought the Wii U was an add on for the Wii not a whole new console. Not to mention developing for the Wii U was a nightmare for developers because of the gamepad. Basically no 3rd parties wanted to touch it since it was much weaker then the PS4 and XB1 and more difficult to develop software for.

The same thing is gonna happen for the switch 2, everyone has already bought a switch or switch light only 3 years ago which is already a hybrid system, now they are gonna release a more powerful hybrid system, why? So they can play this current generation multi-platform games and once again have terrible battery life? Or are they are gonna make it a stationary console and kill the entire portable aspect to do it?

Either way nintendo would be shooting themselves in the foot at this point to make another switch.
