Well, we'll see if this is actually the case - maybe the TNT2 will crack
into the Top 5 video cards this month, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to
see the Voodoo's right up there at the top again.
What I think everyone trying to knock these figures is missing, is the TNT2
was hyped for a LONG time before it was available, and it WAS available for
over half the month. If it was THAT compelling of a product, people
would've waited another week or two and bought them in droves the last half
of the month.
Remember too, the V3 was out mid-April, and STILL got the top spot that
month, and that a TNT card only cracked the top 5 ONCE, while Voodoo2's were
in there once, twice or even three times for most of the time since they
were released until recently.
