Analysts: Games market to hit $91.96 billion by 2015


Global Industry Analysts, Inc. predicts that the video game software market will reach $91.96 billion by 2015. The company's "comprehensive global report" notes industry sales did recently "plummet slightly," but that the "effervescent product" of video games will continue to keep consumer interests "sufficiently kindled." Hold up! "Plummet slightly," "effervescent product," and "sufficiently kindled"? Who let the English major (with a fondness for a well-placed oxymoron) near the press release?

GIA's 1174-page report, which guesses what the future will hold until 2015, is available for purchase at the low price of $3950. The price of the report could have likely been cut in half if clients weren't paying for GIA's licensing of $10 words.
