Dennis, Great questions.

I don't know what would constitute market penetration/saturation
in hand-held fishing games. RADAF obviously has the capacity
to produce 10MM Bass Fishing Games next year. Right now it also
looks like the demand exists to outstrip 97 sales. I wonder
what would be market saturation #'s. Does anybody know how many
fishermen there are in the US & Canada? Just taking a wild guess
I would say that the total market for the games is about 25MM.
Assuming that they sold about 3MM last year, they still have a
ways to go before the market is saturated--perhaps 2-3 years.

Obviously for longer-term sustained growth they'll need other
products to catch on strong. I would guess that the market for
each of bowling, mountain biking, and NASCAR is probably comparable to
the fishing market. All they need is one of these three to hit
and they're looking at sustaining the revenue growth for 3 years
instead of 2. If 2 hit, even merrier.

I'm sure they've tested consumer response with these products. I also
think that the addition of new factory space is due to the reception
received by these new products. If they were only expecting Bass to
grow, I don't think they would have built more manufacturing space.
Just my take.
