The company's objective was to create a next-generation, CD-based video game/entertainment standard which would be manufactured by various partners and licensees; 3DO would collect a royalty on each console sold and on each game manufactured. To <a href="/wiki/Video_game_publisher" title="Video game publisher">game publishers</a>, the low <span style="white-space: nowrap">US$3</span> royalty rate per game was a better deal than the higher royalties paid to <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sega" title="Sega">Sega</a> when making games for their consoles.
