I do disagree though, until maybe recently with the worldwide recession, the gaming industry has been growing. If an industry is growing then that must mean more people are getting enjoyment out of it. Even if that comes at the expense of a small group of people who have been playing games for a long time, it's not fair to trivialize the current industry that many people benefit from. |
Actually, If you take into consideration duplicated ownership and population growth the industry hasn't really been growing. This is all reggie talked about a year before the Wii launched. He said that last generation(6th Gen), household penetration was about where it was in the 8-bit years about 31%-32%.
I had made a thread quoting him along with his charts:
