I'm not surprised. Those of us who played games as kids in the 80s and 90s are now growing up, we have more money to spend on games, and we are introducing it to our kids (I'm speaking in generalities, of course; I don't have tons of extra money, nor do I have kids). And as technology has gotten better, developers have been able to pull off more and more impressive stuff that catch peoples' attention.
There are plenty of other factors, I'm sure. I think it was just a matter of time before gaming started attracting more people, raking in more cash, and really growing as an industry.
