So if they are still selling 150k units monthly and TechToy isn't making them anymore- where is this stock coming from?

After re-reading this paragraph:

"But with Sega having not built a new console in more than 15 years, Tectoy has shifted its strategy a bit. Instead of simply making video games, it now makes DVD players, Android tablets, and even baby monitors. They may not have Microsoft or Nintendo in their corner, but their licensing game is strong—with both Mickey Mouse and Spongebob Squarepants giving their DVD players a little extra snazz."

I guess its not explicitly saying that they dont make them, but I got that impression on first read.



TecToy actually still manufacture Sega consoles, they sell new MasterSystem, new Mega Drive, and has a product named "MDPlay" that is a portable Mega Drive (actually it is seemly some arm console with a Mega Drive emulator, it runs games better than their real Mega Drive that use crappy cheap chips, and people found out you can hack it to put any Genesis rom you want and it will run, Tec Toy briefly yanked it out of the market when that information started to spread on Orkut)
