The best chance that anyone would haave had to buy out Sega would have been after the Dreamcast went under. That was their lowpoint, but they have rebounded nicely since then.

Capcom may be vulnerable, however. They may have fell to the same fate as Square by being starstuck by Hollywood, and then taking a beating at the box office (I'm not sure if RE lost money, but I don't think it made much of a profit). Then again I'm not sure if Capcom even funded RE, they may have just liscenced out their property.

But considering how much money they lost (how?), I'd have to imagine they put up some money to make that picture.
