Apparently tech journalist Zenji Nishikawa has a revolutionary scoop; claims SEGA has a major announcement for their 60th anniversary. It is a Tech related announcement

Lets talk about SEGA on a global level.

Yakuza is gaining popularity to the point where Yakuza 6 sold on par with Japan. Yakuza 6 has not even sold 1 miliion copies.

Persona, which is not even developed by SEGA, is a key IP.

Sonic? - Global brand power but quality issues.

Bayonetta? - They don't invest in it.

All SEGA's classic IP are auctioned out ( Streets of Rage, Panzer Dragoon, )

What IP's are you talking about?

You know Sega's biggest franchise is Football Manager, right ? You didn't mentioned it.

The nerve of me.

No they don't. SEGA does not even have a half the star power they did during their prime. They cant even make a above good Sonic game

They own Atlus.

Persona + Shin megami Tensei (SMT) + Etrian Oddesey + Catherine.

Sega itself..... is basically just Yakuza games atm.

Still they have enough IP, if they wanted to they could make a half decent attempt at a console.

I am aware that they own Atlus. Just pointing out the SEGA's first multi million seller in awhile is not their own creation.

To make a console requires strong global IP's. They can't sell consoles off Persona and whenever decent Sonic game they got in store.
