You'll read that Sega is only thinking of merging with one company.
I really don't want Sega to merge with anyone, but if anyone I'd probably like to see a merger with Namco (because of the Triforce), but if they merge with Sammy they can have some Guilty Gear characters in Soul Calibur 3. Like Ky or Testament, only because of the Triforce thing.
But if I had it my way, I wouldn't have Sega merge with ANYONE.

Well i would rather not have anyone do the fusion dance (which seems to be the IN thing these days.) But if they had to merge with anyone it would be Namco, they have A LOT of experience in the arcade/console business.
Sammy would be a bad idea. All i remember Sammy doing is retarded shoot the turkey arcade games or other miscelaneous poop like that (anyone, correct me.) I guess they only grabbed attention because they published Guilty Gear XXXXXXXX?

Namco has more experience doing the exact same kinds of games as Sega so some interesting things could come of that. At the same time that could cause a lot of internal conflict... OTOH Sammy would probably just scratch their heads and let Sega do as they please.
I guess it comes down to: do you want Sega to evolve and possibly improve their output (Namco) or keep putting out the same stuff they always do (Sammy)? Since I'm no huge fan of Sega I'd go with Namco.

I think SEGA should merge with the Autobot matrix of leadership. Making them the most powerful force in the universe.
OR they could merge with Namco. I think that would benefit both companies if done properly. SEGA and Namco have a bunch of games in the same market always competeing VF and Tekken, some shooting games from each, some racing ones, and maybe some other ones. The question is which would be the more dominant one. Could one side stop production of another sides games?

Everyone has been saying that Sammy joining with Sega might end up the same way as SNK joining up with Aruze. Both Aruze and Sammy are pachinko companies and both are not really well known for their overall contributions to the video game world. Sammy has a lot more experience than Aruze, but Guilty Gear is really the only popular game they produced in a while.
Although Sammy may let Sega do what it wants, I don't they would give Sega total freedom since they would share financially. With Namco, they could work on crossover games with popular characters, exchange ideas (both make awesome games... merging the two minds would possibly make the games even better) and work on great games together.
I voted for "merge with Namco". Although I'm sure it's great if Sega could exist by themselves, it would be hard for any company to consistently come up with profit each year with limited funds. Merging with other good companies may prolong those good 3rd-party teams. Can't complain about Square Enix, either.
If Sega merges with Sammy, I shudder to think what will happen. It may not be good IMO.

The same choice that I did??? *Yes*
Well, Sammy has been around since the NES days and their only block-buster is the Guilty Gear fame (that -as far as I know- they didn't even developed).
While Namco has an story of success; not extreme success but success after all (everyone knows Tekken/Tales games, even if they don't like them).
Well, that's my three cents.
