TGS: Microsoft Wont Announce Any Studio Acquisitions At TGS Sega Or Otherwise

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced another massive acquisition with the purchase of Bethesda and all its properties and studios. Since then, a rumor has suggested that the Xbox parent company was preparing another big announcement at the Tokyo Game Show, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Rumors suggested that Microsoft was lining up a purchase of Sega and its properties, which today include everything from Sonic the Hedgehog to Persona 5. An announcement at the Tokyo Game Show would've made sense too, given Microsoft's struggles in Japan with regards to Xbox sales. In a summary of what to expect from its showcase, Microsoft shot down the rumors entirely.

The rumors became so widespread on social media that it quickly became a running joke. Some unearthed a tweet from Sega's Twitter account from August that was argued as a hint for the announcement, while others embraced the absurdity with connections to some of Microsoft's latest Xbox products.
