Last week, an interview with Yukio Sugino, president and Chief operating officer of Sega Group Corporation, was published on the pages of the Japanese gaming site Famitsu. We tell you about the most interesting of the material.
Sega earns 80% of its revenue from PC and console games from the international market.
▫️Almost 90% of the revenue from mobile games comes from the company’s native Japanese market.
▫️The purchase of Rovio is also due to Sega’s desire to increase its presence in the global mobile games market.
▫️Sega currently employs 3,500 people. 2000 — in Japan, and the rest — abroad.
▫️The cost of game development in Japan is growing. With the release of the next generation of consoles, a development budget of ¥10 billion ($72.8 million) will become the norm.
