News "TV set-tops set to take off " link, news.com Everyone here knows how important I think set-tops are, and 3Dfx seems to understand it. Found this interesting, "In the near term, the cable companies that are deploying Net TV will force millions of units into the market," Kaldor said, adding that interactive gaming consoles from companies like Sony and Sega will be also be a source of growth. "The gaming companies are also making the transition." One of the criticisms of 3Dfx is this 'claim' that they will saturate their market. Only if the execute poorly IMO: "Interactive television, in the form of cable, satellite, or retail set-top boxes, will grow from 1.4 million units in 1998 to 11.5 million units by 2000, IDC predicts. Sales of such interactive gaming consoles, which will offer online gaming and some Web browsing, are expected to jump from 848,000 units in 1998 to almost 15 million in 2002."
