Konami don’t even have AAA dev teams so it’s Sega.

Sega's arcade catalog alone shits all over the entire Konami catalog.

Sega because they have actual game devs. Not just a bunch of ancient IPs. Also you would get Fatlus.

Neither are worth the price of $5b for their gaming endeavors.

Konami hasn't released anything of worth in the past 6 years while Sega's been pumping out nothing but sheer bangers... well besides Sonic of course

Konami, because I'm reviving every dead IP they got.

Konami, because MGS is better than everything Sega has. Such a legendary ip shouldn't be treated the way it is.

I buy Konami and give it to Sony Studios and revive Castlevania Lords of Shadow and make a Super Castlevania V
(And I do not forget to call Castlevania LOS extraordinary musics composer: Óscar Araujo)
Sega is fine on its own

Konami... I'm a PES fiend. Nothing Sega really clicked with me besides the obvious sonic etc... but I recognize Sega probably has more quality as a studio.

This. And konami can't really go worse but Sega can. So better try the hopeless case first.

how are you gonna make a new good entry in MGS when the guy who made the franchise what it is wants nothing to do with your publisher?
unless you're buying MGS to sell to Sony or Kojima Prod in which case good call

My first console was the Mega Drive, so I'm Sega for life! Hoping for Sega to make a comeback with a Switch-style, next-gen OLED handheld capped at 1440p, 60fps and with long battery life.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Burh, Sega is the easy choice here.

fuck it i'd buy sega just to get their hardware division back up and start making legendary arcade hardware again. Get the support of the US miltary back, Nvidia's best engineers, and make arcades more powerful than the 4090 with games that make cyberpunk look like Mario 64
not consoles tho fuck that

It's all hypothetical anyway but yeah, ideally it would go back to kojima productions, with Sony publishing and funding it.

i'm surprised Sega's currently leading the poll, you'd think people's love of MGS and Silent hill would make konami the easy winner but i guess people hate pachinkos more than they love konami's golden age, lmao

I love Mgs, but it is a thing from the past. And Konami is dead today. Sega is still kicking.

Sega as a fan but Konami as a business 
But billion isn't getting you either or the 2.

No. This is a Brewster's Million scenario but instead of money you get great IPs.

I'm buying Sega and green-lighting an Alien Isolation sequel immediately. Easy return on investments.

Can I buy Star Wars instead? And hire J.K. Rowling as screenwriter?

Sega for Atlus. Then I gut any and all Sonic projects for good. No need to thank me.

Can’t I just buy Capcom or Square Enix instead?

Sega, they're pretty big in PC strategy games, maybe the biggest right now and own both Relic and Creative Assembly. The company is low key just really good at picking and publishing games. You don't realize how much stuff they do until you check a wiki. If you followed gaming news, you'd just think they drop a crappy sonic game every couple of years and live on that.

We have 2 of those Pachinko machines given as Chrismas gifts. White Elephant gift. Set them up plug em in and have fun for about an hour before you realize you could be watching stuff on Disney+ instead.
So if the goal is to lose the 5 million in 30 days. Konami is my pick.

Sega has a bunch of dead IPs no one cares about. At least Konami has MGS and Castlevania.
I would buy konami for the IPs.

Just getting them to make HD remasters or remakes of their SNES era titles would be fantastic.
And we need a modern entry of this
