[mike]

Sega Sammy ha decidido reforzar la rama móvil, quitando un montón de desarrolladores de consola. 1/3 de Sega trabaja ahora para dispositivos móviles.

Cita:Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. (6460), the Japanese publisher of the Sonic the Hedgehog, has tasked almost a third of its game unitÔÇÖs developers with creating applications for smartphones.

The Tokyo-based entertainment company has increased the portion of its 2,000 developers designing titles for phones and tablets as more gamers go mobile, Hideki Okamura, president of game unit Sega Corp., said in an interview yesterday. Okamura didnÔÇÖt say if Sega intends to develop mobile versions of its popular PC and console titles, such as Virtua Fighter and Phantasy Star. Company spokesman Yasushi Nagumo said no Sonic titles are in the works.

ÔÇ£As the new devices have come out and created a market for smartphone applications, weÔÇÖre putting a lot of resources into that,ÔÇØ Okamura said on the sidelines of the annual Tokyo Game Show. ÔÇ£WeÔÇÖre shifting developers from other areas.ÔÇØ
