Threat to Intel from Game-makers according to the Economist The latest issue of the Economist says that the Wintel monopoly is threatened by game-makers such as Sony, Sega and Nintendo. No longer are those games only for children - the average age of the users is now over 21. More ominously, these game consoles have tremendous horsepower and versatility - they can be used to surf the net and play DVD movies while costing less than $400. The Economist claims that the Sony product to be released early next year has more processing power than a Pentium III. The game-industry currently has worldwide revenues of $20 billion. Has anyone examined this threat to Intel? Just when Intel has begun to address the low-end PC threat from AMD, this new threat (though it's months away and perhaps a year or two) could create problems. Does Intel have any plans for the Game console market? Who makes the processors for this market ? Any comments from those following Intel closely will be greatly appreciated.
