* For those interested in the Xbox Series S model, almost a third of the console's HDD space will be unusable due to O.S. reasons. Out of around 512GB in total space, only 364GB can actually be used for game related stuff. For some comparison, the install size for this year's Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War game at launch will be around 136GB just for its campaign and zombies modes.

Again, what does this have to do with games?! Well, the pachislot industry is certainly gaming, or gaming-adjacent, but this deal impacts Sega as a whole. Although their physical entertainment industry is the only space impacted here, it could help ensure that Sega Sammy doesn't have to make any cuts for existing studios. The future is uncertain, but it seems like Sega Sammy had no real choice here other than to find a buyer.
The corporation even explains it in their own words, noting that the "utilization of facilities has declined remarkably, and a significant loss was recorded at 1Q of the fiscal year ending March 2021."
