Good article but there's a few corrections to make...
-Flagship is now entirely owned by Capcom, Nintendo and Sega's shares were bought out. They're now a 100% invested Capcom subsidiary.
-No mention of Sega's subsidiary Nextech, who co-developed and handled most coding on Resident Evil Code: Veronica with Production Studio 4 and Flagship. They also ported the first Resident Evil to Saturn.
-No mention of the newly formed Clover Studio, made up mostly of former Production Studio 4 staff. They're currently working on Viewtiful Joe for PS2, Viewtiful Joe 2 for GC & PS2, Ookami for PS2 and possibly the newly announced Viewtiful Joe games for DS and PSP.
-No mention of Production Studio 6's Chaos Legion for PS2 & PC, which Mikami served as producer on. If games like Dino Crisis 3 or Resident Evil Zero are mention in connection with Production Studio 4, this likely should be as well.
-Production Studio 3 handled production of RE Code: Veronica X for PS2 entirely, and farmed out development to a Korean firm (can't remember the name offhand).
-Production Studio 3 also handled full development of both Dino Crisis 3 and Resident Evil Zero themselves, Studio 4 had no involvement outside Mikami serving as an advisor on RE0 and Kobayashi as a supervisor on DC3.
-Production Studio 4 didn't handle the PC ports of Dino Crisis 1-2, they were done by Capcom Japan's old dedicated PC team (who also ported many other PSX games to PC).
-Gyakuten Saiban was announced for Nintendo DS.
