Some of the analysts over at Bloomberg are predicting that Konami and Capcom may be the next two Japanese game publishing giants to merge in the midst of rising development costs, and weaker profits. In recent years Konami has been trying to break its dependence on the video game industry, and has already gotten the ball rolling with their Yu-Gi-Oh! series of card games. Nonetheless, analysts believe that Capcom may be a good match for the publisher. Though most seem to agree that Sega Sammy would be the better partner for the creators of Street Fighter, Mega Man, and Resident Evil. |

If such a deal were to go through between Konami and Capcom, what remains to be seen is whether it would be an aggressive acquisition on Konami's part, or a mutually agreed upon merging of the two companies. |
