| TheSource said: Hm $8 to $10 billion in software revenue then? Retailers get 10% of that...7-9 billion for game publishers. I would think Microsoft games are 1/4 to 1/3 of that software revenue...which leaves 4.8 billion to 6.0 billion for software publishers. If its 5.4 billion in software revenue, over 3.5 years that amounts to about $1.54b in third party software revenue per year. Not a tremendously big market frankly given the increased cost of development.

You can't really say per year, since that revenue has been increasing over the years. Also this is just through retail, not online, so that does not include arcade games, dlc, themes, gamer pics, ect...
