I would have to think that Matrox main focus in the Video card industry is in the Video Editing and Frame Capture markets. Hell they been around since 1975! I'm not sure how long ATi has been around and Nvidia was started by a bunch of ex 3dfx employees and the 3d craze didn't take off till 1994 time frame.
I'm guessing that the home/OEM markets are profitable for them, but they don't need to depend on them as much as the other guys do. If you take a look at the Matrox store and look at their Video and Frame Capture products your looking at prices starting at $500 and up! I bet Matrox makes a pretty penny off each one of these cards sold, since for the most part they are modified G-series products.
Also some posted about Nvidia having their home offices out in Sunny California. I took a look at Matrox's web page and they have offices all over the world and one of the Chip designs places was in Florida which has pretty nice weather also
.
I'm not worried as much for Matrox the Company as much as we should be consern with Matrox's Video Card department for PCs. I guess time will tell...
