Cellius Inc.[a] was a Japanese video game developer and publisher headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, founded in 2007 as a joint venture between Sony and Bandai Namco Holdings. The aim of the company was to assist in helping Sony compete with Microsoft and Nintendo.[2] Sony hoped that the company would make up for the losses it made during quarter two of its financial year. Ken Kutaragi was announced as CEO.[3] Bandai Namco Holdings held 51% of the company, and Sony held 49%. The company planned to use Sony's Cell microprocessor, the heart of the PlayStation 3, for PlayStation 3 games and games for mobile phones and personal computers. Its video game projects were Misato Katsuragi's Reporting Plan on the PlayStation 3 and Ridge Racer on the PlayStation Vita.[4][5][6]
