GamesDailyBiz is reporting that the games industry will double in market size by 2011. This is according to a study, not some sort of time-scrying device. From the article: "The videogame industry has been growing exponentially in recent years, and a new study from ABI Research has indicated that the growth will continue. According to the study, the videogame market will expand from $32.6 billion in 2005 to $65.9 billion in 2011. Online and mobile gaming will be the primary source of the growth, while the rest of the market will see growth, but to a lesser extent."

"What about us loyal customers that have supported Square from the beginning? We didn't deserve Final Fantasy X-2."
Since Final Fantasy I on the Nintendo 8? True, they've been pumping out the same game for twenty years, but if it took you until X-2 to realize it, I would think it's your own damn fault.
