Gaming Goes Mainstream - The Latest Perspectives on the Gaming Industry

Duration: 1 hour

Topics: Digital Media, Internet Usage

Given the exponential growth in videogaming, gamers are now the new power consumer, representing approximately 144 million of the 244 million online U.S. consumers. Today’s gamers are almost as likely to be female as male, are often married with children, and have mainstream incomes and rich social lives. In fact, gamers are more active, more social, more influential, and more affluent than non-gamers. The gaming audience can no longer be ignored or treated as tangential - Grand Theft Auto 4 generated $310 MM in its first day, shattering previous records, and exceeding blockbuster entertainment properties like Dark Knight, Spiderman 3, and the final Harry Potter novel. One year ago, Activision announced that the Guitar Hero series had generated $1 billion in sales – just a short year later, the specific title Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock has now hit the $1 billion mark.
