Taking The Videogame Market To The Next Level

Thanks to EvilAvatar for pointing out this article about the rise in popularity of games over at Creative Planet's Videography site. Amidst interesting figures about the ascent of games compared to movies, the author points out that, in 2001, the IDSA was expecting almost 17 billion dollars in videogame sales for 2003, when the total is unlikely to be anywhere near that. Is the games industry over-reaching, or are heady movie-surpassing revenue goals in sight?
