They were initially involved in the video game hardware industry by producing its own brand of hardware consoles such as the Sega Mega CD, Sega Game Gear, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. However, due to underwhelming sales of the Dreamcast and competition from Sony’s PlayStation, Sega abandoned the console hardware industry on January 31st 2001 by ceasing production of all Sega consoles and exited the console hardware market. On October 2004, the pachinko company Sammy Corporation acquired a controlling share in Sega at a cost of $1.1 billion, creating the consolidated holdings company Sega Sammy.
