Sammy takes over Sega

[The Former DMiller]

I don't think it's been reported anywhere yet, and it's just talk at this point, but it sounds like the first casualty of the Sammy takeover is going to be Visual Concepts. The ESPN games haven't been selling too well even though many people think they are better than EA's games, so Sammy is thinking of just ending them. This would be a horrible, horrible shame because ESPN is the only major competition for EA right now. I don't want to see them getting lazy. What I'd love, but what will never happen, is if Nintendo bought VC to become an exclusive sports developer for the next Nintendo. It's too late to try to bring sports fans back to GameCube, so get one of the best sports developers around and make sure you have all the major sports covered next-gen.
