I just got information from reliable sources that Nintendo will be purchasing Sonic Team in hope that its Sonic properties will increase their young teen porfolio in a post-Rare era and sales of Sonic titles on GameCube/GBA have been decent to very good.
Sonic Team will continue to work on the announced multi-platform versions of PSO, but then the tentatively-entitled Phantasy Star Reckoning will become GameCube exclusive. It is an all-new online RPG that we have not seen.
Sonic Team is excited to commit to a platform and we should hear news on this deal soon, although both companies might remain hush-hush on the topic for awhile.

Si cette information s´avère vrai et bien...c´est cool.^^
