Introducing the development prowess of SEGA - evidenced through years of delivering innovative arcade and consumer game software products to the global market - into the digital game field, our objective is to become one of the world’s top three digital game companies. Furthermore, through the development of strategies for cross-platform gaming - where game data can be shared across multiple devices - and promoting conversion of intellectual properties originally developed for home video game to the digital game field, we aim to maximize opportunities for earnings across our entire consumer business.

Well that quote sounds promising!

I hope the "Nintendo buys Sega" or whatever talks stop with this. This makes the Sega entity pretty beefy without Sammy.

More interrestengly, the Sega Holdings could attract different shareholders who weren't interrested in the Pachinko, Gambling, Resorts business of Sammy. Could be wrong on that.

Also, here is the "Sega Games" page: http://sega-games.co.jp/csol/company/about/

The non mobile business , is referred to the consumer online company. PSO2 and the staple arcade mahjong franchise are examples of the Online PC business I would guess they are reffering too.

All well and good, but I guess they don't get the memo that the Internet has the advantage of being worldwide...! Especially since they want to excite the world ever, or so the PR says...

Certainly an interesting development that I'm looking forward to tracking
