The competition threat is over stated.
A bit overstated but not ignorable, it hurt.

They have a slightly smaller share of something that is twice as big as last year.
You said last year, what about last quarter? We're at the beginning of the ramp in Q1-97. I dont think it's twice as big as Q4-96.

Yes they are selling it cheaper, but the average cost to manufacture has gone done considerably
Call it even then.

Not much R&D left in the VCD market to capitalize over twice as many chips.
They just came out with a new chip this quarter, there was R&D involved.

Look, I haven't changed my mind about CUBE I still think it's a wonderful long term investment and I'm still holding.
I don't think it's a good short term investment.

Q1 is going to be soft, Q2 is uncertain at this point.
