SEGA Happy To Be Sixth News

No mergers or acquisitions on the cards for SEGA following Mario and Sonic's triumphs...
Speaking to Reuters after the phenomenal success of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, SEGA of America's chief executive Simon Jeffrey has stated that the company is currently not looking into merger or acquisition propositions.
"We're moving very nicely up the charts but we are also very cognizant of what is happening at very top end of market, with regards to some of the M&A activity," Jeffrey said.
"That's not an area we want to play in right now," Jeffrey said. "We have no interest in being acquired, we are very happy with our position right now."
"There is plenty of room for smaller companies to be successful and profitable in this business. You don't have to be number one or number two. You can be number six very happily."
With expectations to shift another couple of million copies of Sonic and Mario's sporting efforts before the Beijing Olympics commence during the summer, let's just hope SEGA doesn't shift their focus entirely from the traditional gaming market.
