Why is gaming so secretive? What is the industry hiding?

Considering my whole last paragraph, I don't think it matters much at all.

If you want to find something, go ahead.

Some things that need to be taken into consideration, Mobile gaming (which has seen a massive buzz these last few years) is considerably cheaper than movies and music. Also do the Music figures include concerts?

It's a difficult comparison to make empirically as one could stretch to include cover fees for bar bands, for instance. Revenue, due to all of the many variables, is a particularly poor measure of popularity here.

I'm thinking it should be common sense based on the simple fact that both music and movies are far more accessible in terms of participation and affordability.

That is the context we're using, right? That's what Beuli2 said. I think we're getting confused with what we mean by bigger.

Yeah I think he meant the amount of people enjoying each is in movies favour. Except with Mobile gaming being so cheap and accessible just like movies and music, that is a big factor. That and we can't count how many times people go to the cinema in a year.

Now on average it's never going to come close to the price of a console and a few games, but personally, I imagin the vast amount of people that go to the cinema do some form of gaming, be it free online, mobile gaming, DS and consoles, that reachs a massive demographic.

Shame they can't do a survery asking people what media's they're into. I think gaming would be up their with movies, not music though.
