3Dfx Interactive Reaffirms Strong Market for 3D Gaming

3Dfx Interactive Reaffirms Strong Market for 3D Gaming is the story today, and it fits right into the fast-moving PC gaming pileup of June 1998. 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. yesterday reaffirmed that it believes that the market for its latest generation graphics chipset for 3D gaming, Voodoo2™, will continue to be strong and that it has not reached a saturation point. Despite published reports that Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc., an important supplier for Voodoo2-based board products, will reduce its Voodoo2 shipments during the summer, 3Dfx Interactive believes that shipments to Diamond will be in line with its forecasts. For players keeping one eye on patches, demos, hardware, and whatever the big studios are cooking up next, this is exactly the kind of update that can disappear in a day and matter a month later. Welcome to PC gaming, where the news moves faster than most download mirrors.
