Just thought I'd throw my two cents in here, and say that Sega acquiring Atlus couldn't be a bad thing IMHO. Probably my favorite publisher of Saturn games aside from Sega was Atlus, it's just that their best stuff didn't hit the U.S. SMT: Devil Summoner, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Groove on Fight, Punkura Daisakusen and Princess Crown were all great. Even if we just get more good Atlus titles under the Sega-Sammy ownership I don't see this as being a bad thing.
Also, on a side note, Atlus had some truly underrated games. One of the best was Kartia (Rebus in Japan) on the PSX, a game that I thought was really great (plus uses Amano's artwork a la the early Final Fantasy games), and I think would really benefit from a remake.
