So it was actually Haruki Satomi who made these comments? I thought it was strange Hajime would say such things, he just seems so old that he wouldn't care about videogames. He seems to be into his casino's and resorts.
Haruki though, hes the one who got SEGA so heavily into mobile. So the guy obviously has power. It's not like SEGA is hated by investors at the moment either, mobile is where the money is. So I imagine this Haruki guy is being sincere. I'm willing to believe. He has nothing to gain by lying about this. Investors don't care about console games.
