Sega to Shifts Focus To Software

Manjit writes "Saw this Reuters story on yahoo. After reporting financial losses, Sega is announcing that they will be licensing the Dreamcast hardware design and shift their focus to software development. The interesting thing is the line about "including plans to provide game software for rival makers' consoles." Now that Sega will move away from the hardware business, we will be back to 3 major console makers this time next year, and the PS2 will have had a one year headstart. It does not bode well for Indrema trying to break into the console business."
