The last time I heard, vista was not that popular among computer user and may still use windows xp. The computer memory maker got screwed and had to sell their stock of computer ram at long prices. Coupled with this, the mainstream gamers were so disappointed with the peformance of the first generation of directx10 card that those do not really have much budget avoid them, leaving the rich and the euthanstic to get those cards, which do not point to a really good sales figures. Of course, it is expected to change this year, when vista sp 1 comes out, more game companies coming up with dx 10games and hardware getting cheaper
Actually, it takes both hands to clap. The software and the hardware. The industry is full of gaming hardware which fell to obscurity due to lousy games and software. Like sega saturn, jaguar 64, nintendo 64, dreamcast, etc
