It's concerning but not all doom and gloom yet. They have a lot of profitable properties so hopefully they continue with them or sell them on to someone who will.

Off the top of my head:
Persona,
Yakuzo,
Alien,
Sonic,
Football manager,
Bayonetta,
Shenmue,
Valkyria Chronicles,
Phantasy Star,
Virtua Tennis,
Mortal Combat,
Vanquish,

and i'm sure a good few more. Many of those games can still make a lot of money on consoles and handhelds so if they are done with any i hope they sell them on.

"Profitable", haha. More than half of your list is the reason why Sega is retreating. Alien Isolation flopped, Sonic seems to finally die for good, Bayonetta only lived on because of Nintendo, Shenmue never got a third installment because it would cost too much to develop, Valkyria Chronicles got mismanaged, Phantasy Star struggles, Virtua Tennis hasn't been a thing in years, Vanquish was a commercial failure. Mortal Kombat has nothing to do with Sega.

Most of them if done right could be profitable.
