    This was taken from a games site today ,

    "SEGA of America announced this morning that they have signed middleware agreements with the two top console manufacturers, Nintendo and Sony. Game developers now have access to Sega.com's expertise, technologies, and services that will allow them to set up network gaming environments for gameplay on PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and Nintendo GameCube. Sega.com helps developers to successfully take their games online across multiple platforms with SEGA Network Application Package (SNAP), a suite of technologies and services designed to provide a multi-platform, end-to-end, network multiplay solution.

    "Having shipped more than 17 networked console games to date, SEGA is the undisputed pioneer in online console gaming, and Sega.com helped make it possible by creating and supporting the technology backbone," said Mr. Ryoichi Shiratsuchi, CEO of Sega.com and general manager, Network Business Division, SEGA Corporation. "From building the first high-speed online console gaming network to offering Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 developers a solution for implementing a network gaming environment with SNAP, Sega.com is truly committed to the future of the video game industry -- online gaming."

    sounds good for both parties, after all sega were the first to adopt online console gaming
