Toshiba also has 200,000 employees.
Regarding Toshiba attempting to buy SEGA back in the day, yes its true.
Google "Soichiro Iwajiiri Dreamcast end game".
I agree that it's not a certainty in any way, but I'm 100% for it if it happens. Sega needs an electronics hardware partner. That is the absolute only hope for a new console of any type to happen.
Sega's good, but no where near as good as when they were deving for their own platform.
Agreed wholeheartedly. SEGA has stronger game talent when they develop for their own machine.(That's because they can FULLY understand the design and schematics of their own platform).
