Sega of America has confirmed to GamesBeat that they have laid off a number of employees. The exact number of people laid off were not given, however it is known that it was a small team.
"As the gaming industry continues to evolve, companies must adapt and adjust in order to compete and succeed in an ever-changing environment," said a Sega spokeswoman. "As a result of this, Sega of America has recently undergone a restructure that will enable the company to focus efficiently on developing new and existing content across digital platforms as well as continuing to focus on key brands for packaged goods."
Sega has been struggling the last year as it closed five European offices and closed its Australian offices. Sega has been restructuring its Western businesses since last year.

@ shikamaru. I absolutely agree with you. That would be an awesome idea. Get Sega exclusivity on Nintendo consoles but at the same time keep the Sega name alive.
If sega was really in trouble then they wouldn't be buying up companies like crazy. It was probably just some group whose layoff was inevitable.
the reason people in America are fans of Sega is because of Tom Kalinksy, if you read what Sega did to him after he worked so hard you would change your views. Japan Sega ruined everything
Right after they bought Altus too... Nintendo, just buy both of them and get this over with... I dont get why Sega even bothered to buy a new company if its own company isnt doing to well... At least Nintendo has over 8 billion dollars in their bank
Put your money where your mouth is then and buy a Wii U with Sonic Lost World when it comes out.
"merge", they aren't really near the same level, it would be Nintendo buying them out.
shikamaru, Nintendo bought a lot of companies like Monolith Soft, they're still the same just with bigger budgets from Nintendo/make Nintendo exclusives. so yeah, they'd still be called SEGA if Nintendo buys them out.
