Yeah it appears to be some kind of merger...man...one of these days we are just going to have one company for everything. One video game company, one supermarket, one car maker.....

I can't wait for the merge between SquareEnix and SegaSammy. I wonder what name they will choose.

It's not as cool as I thinked ...
I've just read on Reuters that this merging means Sega's abandoned plans to restructure on its own ... (T_T)

I'm curious about this merger though, does this initially mean that more support will be given to the PS2 since Sammy is now in command of Sega restructuring? Seeing as how the majority (if not all) of Sammy's title is specifically for the PS2?

Thanks for the Reuter's article, very informative.

If it does force Sega to address more Sony's way it is about time. Whether anyone likes it or not, only GB has a bigger installed base. I want Sega the business to last, not any possible grudge they may have.

I also wonder if it means sega games on Wonderswan, since Sammy is one of the main software supporters of the system.

Honestly...I'm tired of it already. Everything is merging with something else :\

I don't get it. Sega's not all that merged with it self, as it stands.
I could see Sammy as a Sega development team. I hope Sega doesn't change it's name. This is speaking in terms of arcade games. As for pachinko games and business, that's another matter, though still I don't want the Sega name to disappear.

no surprise there..since the entire japanese economy took a downfall(during the last 3-4 years?) it affected every aspect.Just look at arcades for example.Some months ago Namco,Konami and Capcom(I think,not sure) came to an agreement about basically "splitting up" their profits for a period of time..
What I don't get is how a merger between two companies is going to improve things since it doesn't neccessarily translate to "more profit for both of them"...?

I believe it's because sammy is very stable now, but believes that sega will pull out of their slump, and return to profitability.

Now what I want to know is what happens to UGA, Smilebit et al.

I hope a lot of Atomiswave games will come of this, so I can have an excuse to buy one of those awesome-looking pieces of hardware.

Even in an unstable economy, pachinko companies are making out like hot monkey rape. That said, I don't think Sammy can help Sega out of their current situation.

Why do I have the sneaky feeling that this may be a Sammy take over of Sega hidden as a merger? Or that Sammy will be controlling the company, not the other way around...

And will this include the many heads of Sega as well, or will the various departments (AM2, Smilebit, Red, etc) break off on their own?

But how the mighty have fallen...And the sad thing is, looking at it from afar...I can't be suprised at this. Sega has been poorly run for awhile now, and even the third party shift has been lackluster.

Maybe Sammy can come in and bring some focus to devlopment instead of the chaos Sega seems to be following now...

It's certainly what's going to happen... With the actual boss of Sammy beeing the boss of the new entity, plus the journalist asking Sammy "what will be the name of the new company?" and Sammy "The name "Sega" can't be thrown away"... It seems everything is in their hands already.
I couldn't care less, I'm just worried about UGA's future.

Sega Investors Dislike Sammy
Aramo | 10:55 | Industry Buzz

Investors seem to fundamentally disapprove of Sega's plan to consolidate with pachinko game machine manufacturer Sammy. Shares in the Japanese game developer and publisher hit a record low of 633 yen, and have since the announcement of the merger plans fallen nearly 30 percent. Admittedly, partly responsible for the drop is also the 2002/03 forecast that was slashed by 90 percent earlier this month. (Reuters)
