SAN FRANCISCO—Video game giant Sega.com Inc. said it will launch a new division to specifically focus on the market for wireless gaming in North America, a move showing the vast potential for wireless games.
“Staying true to our history of innovation in the gaming industry, Sega.com continues to push the boundaries and expand the video game market into new territories with the launch of the Sega Mobile division,” said Ryoichi Shiratsuchi, general manager of Sega Mobile Japan.
Various gaming companies, including THQ Inc., have made moves into the wireless industry, but few have gone so far as to create a wireless-specific division.
