Reported on Bloomsberg:
Sega and Sammy Corp to merge.
Supposedly this deal is upwards of around 1.1 billion. If I recall correctly Sammy Studios (Responsible for Galerians Ash and Guilty Gear X2 recently) is a fully owned subsidiary of Tokyo based Sammy Corp.
A tidbit that has this Sega fan concerned (above the regular concern surrounding this type of merger):

Sega and Sammy will form an integration committee to decide where the company will be headquartered, its new name and Sega President Hideki Sato's role.New name?:frowning: I believe it would be strange to pick up a "Sega" title without seeing that comforting blue streaked SEGA adorning the bottom right hand corner of the package.
