Hello All,
I’m not a gamer, (tho my hubby has been *glued* to Halo3 all over Christmas), so please forgive my limited knowledge of the benefits of one box over another, it appears to be a hotly contested issue :o)!
I wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction to find some facts and figures about gaming trends.
What I’d like to know is whether on *average* console sale numbers are increasing or decreasing, over – say the last 5 or 10 years. The problem I’m having is that I can find these figures for specific boxes (Wii/PSP/X360 etc.) on this wonderful website but from that I can’t easily tell overall trends, as over time one specific box sales overtake another, or one manufacturer increases or decreases in popularity. I’m trying to understand whether the industry as a whole is increasing in size, and if so, how fast.
An additional confusion is that of the PC Gamer, I haven’t really factored in whether that is a trend to monitor, whether people start off gaming on the PC and migrate to a dedicated console, or whether they are completely different beasts…
Anyway, thank for taking the time to read this and if anybody can help I’d be really grateful!
