But investors will look at a wider variety of factors, including market conditions, market appetite and competitive performance. "PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are all on the upward curve, PC gaming is growing, this cycle is widely expected to have the longest life-span of any generation so far, most video game stocks are trading at an all time high, other entertainment sectors are turbulent, in decline, or both."If I’m a media company, I’m looking at that situation and I’m looking at games.

Hardware NEC Announces Curved Computer Display
At CES 2008 last week Alienware announced a curved computer display geared for gamers and making people more productive through more screen space while working on a computer. NEC must feel that the market for long, curved displays is a up and coming category as it announced its own curved display called the NEC CRVD-42DWX+. The NEC display has a screen resolution of 2880 x 900 with a response time of under 0.02 milliseconds. The NTSC color gamut the display is capable of is 170% and the dynamic range is 12-bit. In all the display can reproduce 68.7 billion colors. NEC spokeswomen emphasized that the Alienware prototype and the NEC CRVD-42DWX+ "have nothing to do with each other." While NEC claims the two displays share no common manufacturer, both displays are built with the same bezel and housing.
