'''Sega Corporation''' ({{ja|株式会社セガ}}, ''Kabushiki-kaisha Sega''), officially stylized as '''SEGA''', is a multinational video game software and hardware development company, and a home computer and former console manufacturer headquartered in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, with various offices around the world. The company is famous for many notable game franchises, including {{uv|Sonic}}, {{uv|Bayonetta}}, {{uv|Virtua Fighter}}, ''Puyo Puyo'', ''Phantasy Star'', ''Sakura Wars'', ''Yakuza'', and ''Valkyria Chronicles''. In the past, Sega was [[Nintendo]]'s greatest rival. They even made anti-Nintendo campaigns, such as the old American marketing slogan for the Sega Mega Drive (Sega Genesis in North America), which was "Genesis does what Nintendon't". The company had success with both arcades and home consoles, but on January 31, 2001, following poor sales of the Dreamcast and profit losses, Sega restructured itself and left the consumer console business to concentrate on software development for multiple third-party platforms. Since then the company has made frequent collaborations with their former rival, including releasing exclusive games for their consoles and occasionally developing games involving their IPs, such as [[F-Zero (universe)|''F-Zero GX'', ''F-Zero AX'']] and the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario & Sonic'']] crossover sports series. On October 1st, 2004, they merged with a Japanese pachinko company called Sammy to form Sega Sammy Holdings, but still exist as a subsidiary of the company. The company is also famous for its ''SEGA''! chant that appeared on both commercials and games. On September 2013, Sega Sammy Holdings acquired [[Atlus]], obtaining the publishing rights for franchises such as the ''Megami Tensei'' series and its various subseries such as {{uv|Persona}}. | '''Sega Corporation''' ({{ja|株式会社セガ}}, ''Kabushiki-kaisha Sega''), officially stylized as '''SEGA''', is a multinational video game software and hardware development company, and a home computer and former console manufacturer headquartered in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, with various offices around the world.
