No way this happens. The source 4chan post clearly comes off as trolling:
ATTENTION. BETHESDA ISN'T THE LAST COMPANY THAT MICROSOFT WOULD BUY AND ANOUNCE THIS YEAR. THEY ARE GOING TO ANOUNCE THE ACQUISITION OF SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS ON THE TGS THIS WEDNESDAY.
They where going to announce it months ago but there was one main problem: Atlus. Atlus was skeptical about porting all the ip's they own to the pc and xbox. After the great sales they got with Persona 4 on PC now they are more open about start porting all to the pc and the xbox.
Other main factor that helped is how well it's the yakuza series selling on xbox thanks to the gamepass. That also it's the main reason of why they are not talking about the "Yakuza HD collection" on xbox. They want to remake yakuza 3 (A. K. A Yakuza Kiwami 3) and then launch the other games as an "Essential collection" (4, 5, 6, Dead souls and Ishin).
All this plus the fact that they are teaming with asobo makes it look that microsoft its decided to establish in the japanese market.
