SEGA believes its acquisitions have steadily increased its global reach. Using Atlus as an example, the report said that the company profited from world-class Atlus IPs and to its business like Yakuza and Hatsune Miku, while also expanded Atlus localization capabilities. In the report, the story is read. I think back to the time when we acquired Atlus and consolidated. This brought us two major benefits. One of the very attractive IPs that Atlus developed in role-playing gaming. The other was the strong localization capabilities of the U.S.-based site. Based on these localization capabilities, very Japanese IPs, such as YAKUZA and HATSUNE MIKU, have been translated with expressions that truly resonate with local users, which hasenhanced game quality. The result of this is evident in the rising Metacritic scores that result from then growing sales in overseas markets. These types of acquisitions that improve our functionality will certainly be a major strength in the long run, and we’ll continue to research investment issues from this point of view. SEGA owns multiple studios in the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan. The company noted that every studio’s IPs have successful in various regions and are playing a vital role in our worldwide expansion. The development studio network SEGA has created is among the most productive Japanese gaming company, the report concluded. [Source: SEGA]
