So you are telling me with the largest increase in revenue in 10 years, that the video game market is not expanding faster than it ever has?
"As we have discussed before, Nintendo has operated based upon our basic strategy to "Expand the gaming populations" and have been able to significantly expand the total video game market in the last two years." - Nintendo.com

Of course it is expanding faster, in revenue.
In sales it is still expanding just like it always has done. And at the moment Nintendo is the main reason for that (last two generations it was Sony being the main reason)

What? "like it always has done"?
Last gen console unit sales (averaged on 6 years):
PS2: 16.5 mill per year
GC: rufly 3.5 mill per year
Xbox: rufly 4 mill per year
--------------------
= 24 mill consoles per year
2007: 33 mill PS360+Wii consoles
2008: 48 mill PS360+Wii consoles
This year will see double console UNIT sales compared to the average in last gen. That is not expanding like it always has done. That is HUGE expanding of video game market.
