For me the answer is clear. Sega all day everyday. I have more fond memories playing Sega games then Konami. IMO Sega has overall better IPs.

 

[Poltz]

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

 

[JPSLotus97T]

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

 

[BennyBlanco]

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

 

[Cert.in.Death]

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

Hookers and blow for me.

 

[64bitmodels]

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

 

[German Hops]

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

 

[TheGodfather07]

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

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

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

 

[crazyjah2003]

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.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

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

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

 

[bender]

Sega so I can stop Sonic from further infesting our world.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Come on man, let me just keep the money.

 

[lachesis]

Ooh.. my first love (Konami in 80s MSX days) vs 2nd love( in mid 90s to early 2000s)

I will go with Sega though.

 

[64bitmodels]

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

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

 

[Thirty7ven]

Konami all day.

Sega only has Sonic.

 

[Investor9872]

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.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'm spending it all on blow and hookers, fuck sega and konami. (maybe id pay only for metal gear)

 

[adamsapple]

Burh, Sega is the easy choice here.

 

[A.Romero]

Depends.

From the business perspective SEGA is a much much better buy than Konami.

From the fan perspective I like Konami but mostly because I'd like to revive MGS. I rather negotiate the IP only and fuck the rest.

 

[64bitmodels]

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

 

[TheGodfather07]

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

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

 

[Spyxos]

I am surprised that so many people voted Konami.

 

[Bond007]

Konami- bigger dormant IPs begging to get milked.
Biased cause MGS is also my favorite.

 

[64bitmodels]

I am surpirsed that so many people voted Konami.

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

 

[TheGodfather07]

The power of metal gear solid!

 

[Spyxos]

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.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Sega as a fan but Konami as a business

But billion isn't getting you either or the 2.

 

[PJX]

Come on man, let me just keep the money.

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

 

[akaFullmetal]

Konami due to their ip's.

 

[BrutalTruth_]

Why not both...for Microsoft.

 

[64bitmodels]

Why not both...for Microsoft.

 

[Holammer]

Konami, I can fix her!
The smart money would be on Sega.

 

[IDKFA]

Sega and it's not even close. As well as the classic Sega IPs (Sonic, Yakuza etc) you also get other huge franchises such as Football Manager and Total War.

 

[Games of Today]

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

 

[L*][*N*K]

Sega, and give it to Nintendo.

 

[Patrick S.]

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

 

[T4keD0wN]

Konami, i would then shut them down.

 

[Aion002]

Sega for sure.

Konami without Kojima, Igarashi, Team Silent and the creators of Suikoden is just worthless to me.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

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

 

[GHound]

Buy Konami, give the gaming side to KojiPro and double down on the gambling and soaplands.

 

[Bonfires Down]

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

 

[flying_sq]

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.

 

[64bitmodels]

Konami, i would then shut them down.

 

[Moses85]

I would buy Konami and close them forever.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Konami all day.

Sega only has Sonic.

 

[Magic Carpet]

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.

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

So if the goal is to lose the 5 million in 30 days. Konami is my pick.

 

[SlimySnake]

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.

 

[Ulysses 31]

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

 

[Roman Empire]

Konami

Is that a female Daredevil there? hahaha
