Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. (セガサミーホールディングス. TYO: 6460 ) is a Japanese holding company formed from a merger of Sega and Sammy. They were both very involved in the arcade business (Sega with games, Sammy with Pachinko), and Sega's main fame comes from their console systems.
Sammy Corporation (サミー) was established on November 1, 1975 and is a leading developer and retailer of pachinko and pachislot systems in Japan.
In 2001 Sammy Corporation created subsidiary Sammy Entertainment, Inc. Sammy Entertainment would later change its name to Sammy Studios in 2002. Sammy Studios is responsible for developing and publishing next-generation video games. They are perhaps best known for publishing the Guilty Gear series of fighting games developed by Arc System Works.
In 2004, they acquired noted game company Sega under a new company called Sega Sammy Holdings Inc.
On March 7, 2005, Sammy Studios, Inc. broke away from Sammy and renamed itself High Moon Studios.
Unlike other companies with combined names (Square Enix or Namco Bandai), this combined company continues to use its respective brand names (Sega and Sammy) separately.
