Some interesting statistics for anyone who cares... (of course, 90% of all statistics are made up on the fly, including the one I just typed!) "in 2000, video game and software sales roughly 6.5 billion US dollars in 2000, motion picture industry sales roughly 7.5 billion US dollars 29 million video game consoles sold in 2001 36 million households in the US have at least one (80% of households with children 13-17)" And also, the PlayStation's specs : "1995, PlayStation, 34 Mhz CPU, 2MB RAM, MaxRes 640 X 480, 24 bit colour, CDROM, launch price $300, 70 million sold" In many ways, this device spawned the latest console crazes. Without it's revenue, Gates might have never turned his evil eye towards the X-box, and the wonderful(laughable) Pentium 3 and Nvidia's Geforce might not have ever been so blasphemed... Funny Fact : The X-box 2's development kits ship with Apple G5 setups. No more Intel, no more Nvidia. Whoever thought you could play games on an Apple? With a one button mouse, no less!
