My Analysis: I feel this is the best fit for Atlus since it allows them to A) continue to be a third party and create content for all systems and B) Sega is no stranger to publishing niche titles itself so Atlus shouldn't change much.
With that being said I do question what Sega is doing. While I do think Atlus is a good fit I wonder how much of a gamble this was for Sega financially. Its no secret that Sega has been in financial trouble recently yet they've made some pretty big acquisitions lately with first getting Relic Entertainment and now Atlus. Personally, I feel like both the Atlus & Relic acquirement will work out but its still a risk for a company that was focusing on only releasing a few retail games a year (and ones that were guaranteed to sell huge numbers [which Atlus games do not]). My only hope is that this doesn't change the quality of Atlus published games (as in soundtracks, artbooks, etc). I'm also left wondering if as many Atlus titles will get both retail releases and localized, could future Atlus titles be download-only in NA/EU?
