         <description><![CDATA[<p><b>In 1940</b>, American businessmen Martin Bromley, Irving Bromberg, and James Humpert formed a company called <i>Standard Games</i> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honolulu">Honolulu</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii">Hawaii</a>,
 to provide coin-operated amusement machines; mostly slot machines to military bases located which they saw as a potential market since due to the onset of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">World War II</a>, the number of men stationed at the military bases had increased and they would have needed something to pass their spare time. <b>In 1951</b>, when the government of United States started outlawing slot 
machines, the company moved its base to Tokyo, Japan. There the company 
provided coin-operated slot machines to U.S. bases in Japan and changed 
its name again to <i>Service Games of Japan</i> in 1952.  <b>By 1965</b>, Sega began the transition from importer to manufacturer, with the release of the Rosen designed submarine simulator game, <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Periscope">Periscope</a></i>.  <b>In 1969</b>, Rosen sold Sega to American conglomerate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_and_Western_Industries">Gulf and Western Industries</a>, although he remained as CEO following the sale. <b>In 1972</b>, <i>Gulf and Western</i> made Sega Enterprises a subsidiary, taking the
 company's stock public. Sega prospered heavily from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_age_of_arcade_video_games">arcade gaming boom</a> of the late 1970s, with revenues climbing to over <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar">US$</a>100&nbsp;million by 1979.</p><p><b>Current Operations -</b></p><p>In the 2010s, Sega established operational firms for each of their businesses, in order to streamline operations.In 2012, Sega Entertainment was established for Sega's amusement facility business. Then, Sega established Sega Networks for its mobile games; and although separate at first, it merged with Sega Corporation in 2015. Sega Games was structured as a "Consumer Online Company" promoting cross-play between multiple devices, while Sega Networks focuses on developing games for mobile devices.,In 2015, Sega Interactive was established for the arcade game business.These new divisions would replace the former Sega Corporation, and the new Sega Holdings would consolidate all entertainment companies from the Sega Sammy group, which became effective April 1, 2015</p>]]></description>
