No there were rumors of a buyout in 2003 but it never happened.

They're not half as good as they used to be. I'm not saying Sega will become as good/bad as Rare, they'll just go down the same road that Rare did. That is, they'll become even worse.

Yes, of course I have, all of them. They were once among my favourite developers. But even you have to admit that, compared to the greatness they used to have, they've gone somewhat downhill since being bought by Microsoft. Whether they've gone downhill by a significant margin is debatable, but the quality's decreased nonetheless.

With 2 games coming out that look fantastic (VP 2 and Banjo) I think RARE is at their best in years, and will redeem themselves in the eyes of many gamers

You just asked for him to stop turning it into a console war, then contributed to it yourself.

No, you looked like the bigger man for a second, then sunk to his level and made yourself look even douchier.

Wii isn't a rival to the PlayStation 3 because it doesn't offer the broader features of the Sony console, including the ability to watch movies and access the Internet, Sony Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer said in an interview.

``I've played a Nintendo Wii,'' Stringer said last week at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. ``I don't see it as a competitor. It's more of an expensive niche game device. We're selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it's still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player.''

I suppose they're not competing in terms of quality (not to suggest that one's better than the other, but they're both in leagues of their own) but he's a little ignorant for thinking that they don't need to worry about the Wii.

Of course, this is just trash talking, like they all do. I don't think they believe half of what they're saying most of the time.
