, originally short for
Service Games and officially styled as
SEGA, is a Japanese
multinational video game developer and publisher headquartered in
Tokyo,
Japan, with multiple offices around the world. Sega developed and manufactured numerous
home video game consoles from 1983 to 2001, but the financial losses incurred from their
Dreamcast console caused the company to restructure itself in 2001, and focus on providing software as a third-party developer from then on. Nonetheless, Sega remains the world's most prolific
arcade producer, with over 500 games in over 70 franchises on more than 20 different
arcade system boards since 1981.
