Online, Mobile Games to Surpass Console Games in 5 Years, says Analyst

Pretty interesting read, no matter what you think will happen. Myself, I'm saving up for an Alienware Laptop. But I won't lose my XBox until they have PC Gamer Points with the same amount of street cred!

“The video games industry is big, getting bigger and changing, with console game costs, revenue and risks accelerating and online/mobile games growing and fragmenting the market. Investment dynamics are entering a new phase, with growth investment opportunities in online and mobile games, as pure console sector growth is flat (and risky). Today online/mobile games generate around 1/3 of all games software revenues globally. In 5 years time they are forecast to generate 50% of all games software revenue, or around 1/5 more revenue than pure console games! Whether you have faith in the forecasts or not, CEOs and senior execs from the major US, European and Asian publishers all tell me that this is what keeps them awake at night," Merel commented.
