Video game sales are up a whopping 54% for the first quarter of this year over the first quarter of 2006. In large part that has to do with the casual gamer. Nintendo DS, the Wii, and the PS2 at this point, are what the casual gamer is buying, and they're the top selling systems. On the other hand the three hardcore systems: the 360, PS3 and PSP, are selling a bit less, though 360 software is quite remarkable. Nintendo deserves a lot of the credit for that 54% increase year over year. They've engaged the casual gamer more and have brought people who don't play games into the market.
