if anyone thinks that the PC software market will decline in the year Starcraft 2, Civilisation V and a WoW expansion comes out IDK what to say... 

I think consoles may decline YoY from how strong the line-up was last year.

Exactly. Even last year, in the middle of recession, PC Gaming still increased 3% despite only having 1 huge seller on Sims 3.

This year PC will have Starcraft 2, Civilization V and WoW: Cataclysm. Last year, only Sims 3 was on the level of those 3.

And interestingly, 2011 will have even more huge exclusive sellers: Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 expansion, Star Wars: Old Republic and Guild Wars 2, plus other important games like Warhammer 40,000K MMO, Shogun 2, etc...

you really think that Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 part 2 is going to make it out next year? I have my doubts I think it will get pushed to 2012  and the Warhammer 40K MMO is slated for 2012 plus I don't think it will be that big TBH. The old Republic and Guild Wars 2 will be huge tho.
