Gaming is serious business and revenues from gaming now surpass even
those of Hollywood. According to industry estimates, the Interactive Gaming
industry is projected to reach a level of US$ 16.9 billion by 2005. This increase
has been bolstered by the release of next-generation consoles and interactive
gaming. Thus the industry will continue to grow at the rate of 15% per annum,
which is three times that of the film and computer hardware business.
Important gaming expositions like the E3 and ECTS (European Computer
Trade Show) help drive this trend by showcasing the latest developments in
the industry. |
