I would've imagined these numbers to be much more than they are.

Yup. This is surprising to me too. These are numbers of a relatively small IT/financial firm. I guess all the hundreds of millions of dollars in gaming are taken by a small % of companies like Rockstar or the big mobile games.
Are you misreading the chart? They're not in dollars, they're in units. On slide 28 it mentions they sold 24 million units last year. Multiply by $30-60 to get actual revenue, and it's far in excess of "a relatively small IT/financial firm".
That makes much more sense, thank you. I just looked at the table on the linked page and not the *.pdf of the deck itself.
thank you that makes sense
SEGA earns $2-3 billion in revenue every year.
Keep in mind a lot of that is from Pachinko, see articles like this: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/56271/sega-made-1-billion-pac...
