IGN has published a 11 page article about the history of sega, from the formation of Service Games, to Yu Suzuki's recent retirement. Its a great read, and one of the best histories of Sega, I have ever read.

Taken from the Into:
There will never be another SEGA. While their reign as a first-party has long ended, and the name hardly carries the cachet it once had, the industry owes deep debt to the former giant. An innovator and an unrivaled creative powerhouse, they were perhaps the greatest single developer in gaming history.
While rival Nintendo has shown an unmatched ability to maintain a small handful of blockbuster series, SEGA churned out brilliant original franchises one after another with such frequency they made it seem effortless. Their hit series were practically disposable, because they knew the next one would be just as good. All across the world, from Tokyo, to San Francisco, to Lyon, their studios always bet on the gamble, always took chances, and to their fans, they were always winners.
