I think some people are confused, TV POKER IS DYING not the game of poker!
Poker as a game and sport is very strong and continues to grow in terms of popularity. TV poker on the other hand is showing signs of dying to the point a lot of poker tv shows we see now might be long gone in a couple of years.

I think home game poker might be on the downslope as well. The sale of poker chips and other home poker products has collapsed in the past year, leading to the folding of several major gaming companies. Still seems like casinos are doing good business though.

Anyone in the U.S. and/or Canada who needed a chipset bought one during the 2004 Christmas selling season.
There was no reason for anyone in the U.S. and/or Canada to buy another set in 2005 or 2006.
I expect chip set sales to peak in the European continent, namely Germany and France, in 2006.
East Asia will be a 2008 or 2009 story.
