PhysX cards selling like cold cakes

UT 2007 will supply the heat

WE ASKED around about the sales of PhysX cards and learned that Overclockers, one of the biggest online stores in the UK is selling an average of ten cards a day.

Not a bad rate for a new marchitecture, we reckon, but things could always get better.

Obviously, people do find the interest and the dosh to buy these cards. It is still too early for massive sales as there simply are not enough titles yet available to support the relatively high price.

Of course, the most significant game to support Ageia's PhysX technology is about to be Unreal Tournament 2007. Once this game is out, sales should pick up remarkably.

We like the marchitecture but we need more games. Even then, the company will probably have to lower a rather optimistic price to make the cards even more attractive. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
