According to Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun the two big names are merging.
I can see why it could happen: They are both large game developers for the arcades and home consoles in Japan and worldwide. Namco are doing better in some areas of the market in Japan then Sega so it would help Sega if they merged. Likewise Sega have a strong international presence so it would help Namco if they merged.
Apparently here Namco confirm it: http://www.namco.co.jp/home/pr/20030417/ but it's in Japanese, so I wouldn't know.

The harsh "c" in the middle of Semco just ruins the original sound.
Semco sounds cooler.
Im not so sure. Semco keeps to the original starting sound. People like brand familiarity.
Only just got round to listening to these.
Namga sounds better.
Namga sounds better.
Note-Namgo is the page name, the soundbite does say Namga.

Hmmm, the geocities spelling was wrong in the second one, but even corrected other people cant get it to work.
