Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 4, 2004 - 6:49am.
New York -- Scientific-Atlanta, a manufacturer of set-top boxes for digital TV services, has announced that it is developing a new set-top that will offer high-performance video gaming of the same quality of a PlayStation or Xbox, Reuters reported. "We have a partner we are working with who has 250 engineers in Europe writing software for the Explorer platform for games," said Scientific-Atlanta CEO James McDonald, adding, "I can give (game players) the same performance you get out of those game boxes …There is no question that games is one ... market we will be in." The company did not offer further details on the device or a proposed release date. The set-top box game console would likely not be sold separately in stores, but rather distributed into homes already subscribing to digital cable that are also interested in gaming.
