Sega To Close Arcades, Cancel Games, Lay Off Employees

slugo writes with this excerpt from Wired: "The house that Sonic built is getting significantly smaller. Sega's Japanese main branch said Tuesday that it will close 110 arcades, cancel some games in development and seek to lay off 18 percent of its staff. ... Sega says it will chop 20 percent off its research-and-development budget for arcade and consumer games. The company plans to do this by 'consolidating titles to be developed' and 'enhancing the self-manufacture ratio.'"

'enhancing the self-manufacture ratio.'?

'enhancing the self-manufacture ratio.'?

What does this mean? Outsource development to offshore companies?
