Japanese Video Game Giant

Japanese gaming giant Sega is set to acquire Rovio - the developer of the popular Angry Birds series - for $1 Billion, as per reports. Apart from the video games, the Angry Birds franchise has also seen the release of films, TV series, and merchandise, among others.

The Japanese creator of one of the longest-running online role-playing titles, whose most popular video game has attracted nearly a billion registered users, is gearing up for global expansion and setting its sights on the West.

Sony, perched atop the gaming sector, is facing a fresh challenge from cash-rich rivals betting on a next-generation online video game boom as the Japanese conglomerate eyes expansion on multiple fronts, including electric cars.

The Japanese video gaming giant is finding itself squaring off with companies like Apple as they “gobble” up parts that Nintendo needs to manufacture its Switch console, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The huge success of Pokemon Go, a mobile game that has rocketed to the top of Apple Inc and Android app stores in record time, has boosted shares of Japanese video games giant Nintendo.

Shares of Japanese video games giant Nintendo soared on Thursday by 16 per cent at the Tokyo Stock Exchange due to the stupendous success of its new smartphone augmented reality game, 'Pokemon Go'.

Nintendo said today that its chief executive Satoru Iwata has died of cancer at the age of 55, in an upheaval for the Japanese video game giant just months after he abandoned a consoles-only policy and launched a push into the booming smartphone games market.
