Simon Jeffery, President of Sega America, confirmed yesterday that Sega is planning to bring many more games to the iPhone. He confirmed the company is working on "some very cool stuff" and predicts the iPhone gaming market will be extremely active. Sega's Super Monkey Ball remains atop the best sellers at the iPhone App Store.
Our relationship with Apple is such that they talk to us really early about their gaming plans," he said. "We're one of the small number of publishers with content on the original iPod," he added. "It's very gratifying our content is so popular...we think the iPhone is everything that the N-Gage wasn't, as a device," said Jeffery. He went on to compare the iPhone to be "as powerful as the Sega Dreamcast" and "we're looking pretty sensibly at what we can do on the iPhone and what we can bring to that market. Bringing across some of the Dreamcast games to the iPhone makes perfect sense."
