The reason is pretty simple: SEGA's decade long multiplatform market model just isn't cutting the mustard. Development costs have reached a record in budget. The article clearly shows SEGA's solution: Go 3rd party digital only.

Because they are. The fiscal report clearly states that all of SEGASammy's divisions are profiting EXCEPT overaseas software.
On top of that, $1 billion in revenue in 6 months is not bad at all.

For Sega:
1. Stop porting over movies and other similar IPs which is what killed Acclaim. Nobody asked or wanted games like Golden Compass, the film even bombed at the box office.
2. Were dumb to sell the 2K series to Take Two as NBA2K is the 2nd most popular sports franchise behind Madden.
3. Bring out updated versions from your vast IP history from arcades, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast----how 'bout Vectorman 2, Panzer Dragoon 4, Streets of Rage 4, Sega Super GT 2 (not to be confused wih Sega GT!).
4. Stop relying on Sonic, he is only one IP and games such as Shadow the Hedgehog don't either.
