Wii Forces Sega To Shutdown Arcades

[Gamer]

When was the last time you went to an arcade?

"A lot of the types of games that people played at an arcade can now be done at home," company spokesman Yuji Machida said.

Namco Bandai is the second arcade operator to announce a major overhaul. Sega Sammy Holdings (6460.T: Quote, Profile, Research) also plans to close around 100 of its arcades.

That sucks. One of my favorite things to do in Japan when I visit, is go to the arcades...
