| - Sega Games Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational video game software developer and arcade company headquartered in Japan who are best recognised for the Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter, Yakuza and Puyo Puyo franchises. 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. Sega and Sammy became subsidiaries of Sega Sammy Holdings, with Sega and Sammy operating independently whilst the executives of both companies govern the Sega Sammy Group. Sega is currently a third party software developer and publisher for contemporary third party gaming consoles for international markets and a video game developer and publisher for arcades in Japan. Once Sega acquired Atlus in 2013 by purchasing Index Corporation, it became the parent company for Atlus.
