| Survey results released today by the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA), the trade group representing computer and video game publishers, show that an overwhelming percentage of computer and video game players play with friends and family, confirming the view that interactive entertainment brings people together and shattering the myth that games are not a social activity.
The results of the IDSA's fifth annual consumer survey, released today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, reveal that fifty-nine percent of respondents play with friends, and most play with a member or members of their family, whether their siblings, spouses, a parent or extended family. Thirty-three percent play with brothers and/or sisters, 27 percent play with their spouse, 25 percent play with their parents, and a 43 percent play with other family members. |

| We understand that Konami are in final negotiations with Sega to buy the UK AWP manufacturer JPM. The deal thought to be worth in excess of GBP30,000,000 is said to be concluded by the end of the month. This will give Konami access to a substantial new area of revenue in European style gaming machines, and no doubt there will be synergy with their already successful gaming division.
For Sega it will mean a much needed boost in the arm, at a time of great expense with their Dreamcast platform in Mortal Kombat with the Sony Playstation 2. |
