Online game makers gain significant growth in first quarter

2006 Taipei Game Show, a major event in the gaming
industry, has begun. Gamania's subsidiary, NC Soft, Korean gaming company,
Webzen and Way I International Digital Entertainment Co Ltd are the most
enthusiastic participants among all. It is expected that PS3's launch time is
still the main focus of the gamers. As there were not many major new games in
the market during the last year's first quarter, the game manufacturers are
expected to have substantial growth in the revenue in the first quarter this
year. Since there weren't many new games last year, manufacturers are more
enthusiastic to participate in this year's Taipei Game Show. The revenue in
last year is relatively low, including Soft-World, Gamania and Way I's revenue
in January have grown substantially reaching 30 percent to 148 percent
respectively.
