Personally I thought it was more sad than shocking. Sega who were once a mega giant in the gaming community with the Genesis, has been castrated recently.
Sega 2000s = Atari 1990s :-x

I think it was a good move of Sega to get out of the hardware business. I find them as the most innovative software houses there is. Pretty much anything that is new and exciting in videogaming comes from Japan at the moment, and mostly from Sega. They have the guts to develop really weird and groundbreaking games that no American or European developer would dare invest money in. :-)
