PricewaterhouseCoopers has predicted the video game industry will balloon to $68 billion (yes, billion) by 2012. That’s a growth of well over $25 billion in just a few years. The increase is attributed to substantial increases in the mobile and online gaming sectors.
PC gaming on the other hand is predicted to fall, the only segment of the market that’s predicted to do so. Console gaming will grow by nearly 7%, and that’s with a new generation of consoles releasing in that time frame (at least, most likely).
