Follow on Google News | Koncept Analytics Report on Global Video Game MarketThe report is a study of the global video game market covering the growth of the industry over the years. It analyses the changing consumption pattern for this format of entertainment among the different age groups in different regions.
With the introduction of innovative products comes the benefit as the video game industry has grown by 50% in the period 2004 to 2006. The growth in this market is driven by the increased hours of video game consumption that are taking time away from other forms of entertainment, including radio, recorded music, daily newspapers, consumer magazines, and consumer books. Also, survey suggests that nearly half of the U.S. population have played videogames. But besides growth in the developed economies, gaming console market is also seeing huge adoption in the emerging economies especially BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries. With increasing adoption, preferred channels for purchasing video games have changed over the years – consumers are more attracted towards mass merchants and consumer electronic stores for their purchases now. The competitive landscape of the video game industry has also changed with Nintendo and Microsoft threatening the dominance of Sony. In the next generation video game market, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii are major improvements over their respective prior video game console offerings, and for the first time in nearly a decade create respectable alternatives to Sony’s video game consoles. As a fallout of the changing scenario, it is likely that by the year 2008, video game console market will be evenly divided between the Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony consoles, with Nintendo taking the lead beyond 2008.
