SEGA's NOT exiting the console games market.

[Skyblade]

We probably all saw this coming for a while, but SEGA-Sammy Holdings has announced that they are restructuring SEGA into SEGA Games, and they are leaving the console games market. Instead, they will be focusing on PC-online games and mobile games.

SEGA itself is going strong, as it is one of the huge dominating players in the thriving Japanese arcade setting. But we will no longer be seeing their titles cropping up on our consoles.

Fortunately, this is just a restructuring of SEGA. Other companies owned by SEGA-Sammy Holdings, such as ATLUS, are liable to be relatively unaffected, unless their upcoming titles Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem fail.

It's the end of another era for SEGA, though. While they're not the massive force they once were, they are still a huge part of gaming history, and they will be remembered fondly by many.
