Well it looks like alot of us has been making investments in the wrong fields. After looking over some numbers in regards to the future of video gaming I was blown away by the amount of money generated by the video game industry. After studying some stock market trends going back to 2013 and ending in 2015 some truly amazing figures surfaced.
We all know that mobile games are fast becoming the new way to game but did you realize that mobile games are the fastest-growing segment of the market, with revenue set to double between 2013 and 2015 from $13.2 billion to $22 billion?
Graph : Video Game Market Revenue, 2012-2015
- Segment 2012 2013 2014 2015
- Video Game Console 37,400 44,288 49,375 55,049
- Handheld Video Games 17,755 18,065 15,079 12,399
- Mobile Games 9,280 13,208 17,146 22,009
- PC Games 14,437 17,722 20,015 21,601
- Total Video Game Market 78,872 93,282 101,615 111,057
In other words besides the temporary reduction in game console hardware sales during 2013 growth will resume again in 2014 with the sales of next generation gaming hardware from $15.9 billion to $22.7 billion in 2015. In other words ..... gaming is going to do great going into 2015 and investments in these fields should seriously be studied.
