When they went bankrupt again last year, this time as a publisher.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/03/30/sega-streamlining-business-cancelling-games

It's the reason why they handed publishing of bayonetta 2 and the new sonics to Nitendo.
> SEGA has made the decision to consolidate its publishing business in order to focus on developing digital content and driving its existing IP such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Total War, Football Manager and the Aliens franchise. This realignment of the business around existing and digital IP is a necessity to ensure that SEGA continues to invest and enhance its digital business offering, whilst reducing its reliance on traditional packaged goods.

I hope Sega will make NiGHTS 3 eventually, I'll buy whatever console it is exclusive for. By the way, when I was looking for a picture for my post, I found this:
