Sega Sammy Holdings, the parent company that now controls one-time video gaming pioneer Sega, is looking to seriously overhaul its structure and business operations. Statements from the conglomerate have stressed that this is an ongoing process, but one of the first steps seems to be Sega ditching the console video game business to focus on what it considers the areas of biggest growth, mobile and online PC games.

They should sell Sonic to Nintendo if they haven't already done so. Does Atari still exist in any form? I don't remember if they went completely out of business or just stopped making consoles.

This. Ristar, Altered Beasts, Nights, Arcadia, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe....
Nintendo should go after all of that.

Seriously, think what Retro Studios could do with all this?

A new Golden Axe game would be sweet. They could basically copy the God of War format.

I wonder who will buy Sonic, could see Microsoft paying up to get him.
Also Shenmue need to get picked up by Sony.

I think Jet Set Radio would do better on Playstation and Xbox. Along with most of their ip's other than Sonic or Nights.

wait, they arent going to make console games anymore?
well shite.
sounds like they have been taken over by people who are going for the short term $$$ that will bleed the company dry until its a husk that gets sold off for pennies on the dollar.

They made one on 360/PS3 and it sucked.

Naaaaa, many similar reboots have stunk on large platforms. Nintendo thrives on being old schooled.
See a proper reboot in Sin & Punishment.
Heck, Sunset Overdrive was a Jet Set Radio for modern gamers and it was only mildly successful at best.
(I will say that Capcom's been killing it with SFIV. But that's a different beast than something like Jet Set or Altered Beasts.

I am still incredibly disappointed at the clusterfrick that is the NA regionalized version of PSO2.
The first game was one of my favorites as a kid and I've put in a number of hours on private servers. Shame they couldn't fricking get the sequel regionalized.

And they ported the first one to GC instead of PS2 and XB.
