Sega Corp. dismissed speculation it may be the target of acquirers including Microsoft Corp., as the studio behind Sonic The Hedgehog stressed it intends to remain part of a bigger Japanese entertainment conglomerate.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.

From Software parent company Kadokawa has released its financials for the year, and while profits are down, Armored Core has performed surprisingly well.
Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.

Good Sega.
"No, not now".... i could see them making some kind of deal down the road. They had a pretty good working relationship for quite some time. They respect each other.
