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.

Try it. It just doesn't feel right like Namga.

Anything that can improve the quality of Sega games is a bonus.
Oh and what are they going to be calling themselves afterwards?
Well this is quite a good thing for the Nintendo, Sega and Namco friendship thing that's going on already.
Weren't Sega supposed to be merging with Sammy (sp)?
And I was pointing out there are plenty of perfectly fine English webiste with the news, much like the examples given.
