Microsoft reportedly seeking to buy Sega
Seattle Times | at | by Mike
Microsoft tends to look outside Redmond to beef up its Xbox game titles, and has snapped up some rising game developers over the past several years. Now, Japanese game maker Sega is entertaining offers from corporate suitors, and Microsoft is thought to be one of the interested parties. Japan's Yomiuri newspaper this week reported that Microsoft has approached Sega about buying a stake in the company. Microsoft and Sega will not comment, but the speculation has boosted Sega's flagging share price and given rise to much discussion about what such a partnership could mean.
