IGN is reporting that according to a recent report, gaming sales figures will contribute significantly to entertainment industry figures through 2009. From the article: "The report cautions that these projections are highly dependent on the success of the next-generation gaming consoles to be introduced by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. The embedded online capabilities expected in the next-generation consoles as well as the global growth in broadband capabilities should also provide a significant boost to online gaming, according to the PWC report."

    I thought Interest in Comsole Gaming Is Declining. So interest is declining but those who keep playing will be buying more?

    "The report cautions that these projections are highly dependent on the success of the next-generation gaming consoles to be introduced by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo." So they are saying that sales over the next couple of years will improve if sales over the next couple of years go well. If sales aren't very good, then sales just might not improve very much.
