Exactly. Even at an average of less than 7 bucks a ticket, box office alone nearly equals all game revenues, from games, hardware AND accessories, home consoles and handhelds. Add DVD sales and DVD player sales to that for a fair comparison. Pirates of the Caribbean sold 64 million tickets in a year, and THEN sold 10 million DVDs in one week. |
9.49 billion at $7 per ticket means 1,355,714,285 movie tickets were sold.
12 billion at $50 per game means 240,000,000 games weresold
Yeah, gamings as mainstream as movies despite selling well over a billion less games than movie tickets.
Regardless, the above numbers are flawed because they do not take DVD's, piracy, rentals and the cost of consoles into account.
