Gaming itself has grown so powerful in the years of me being a gamer. I remember being a 80's child growing seeing gaming labeled as a kid, nerd, or geek fad. Now lo and behold gaming is everywhere.

I'm glad to see it getting so much respect but also part of me misses the days when it wasn't so mainstream and it had a some what underground feel to it.

@343 Guilty Fart Man, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that thought that. I mean, give her a scarf or turtle neck to hide the aging neck and shes good to go.

how come npd says higher "PORT WASHINGTON, NY, January 14, 2010 - According to leading market research company, The NPD Group, U.S. retail sales of video games, which includes portable and console hardware, software and accessories, generated revenues of close to $19.66 billion, an 8 percent decline over the $21.4 billion generated in 2008.

@milliniar

I thought that sounded funny as well. But if you look at the report the article is based on, it does not include entertainment software. So this 7 billion is strictly hardware. Last year hardware came out to be $7.6 Billion and video game software sales reached $10.5 Billion.

@Bielzer - You think that's bad??? Click on some of the links below it that gives other articles about gaming and some are OVER $3-5 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!! Just for a report!!!!

You can also change the money conversion on the left hand side to USD. At first I was using google to find the conversion for what it was showing in Euro's and I just couldn't believe some of those reports were in the thousands of dollars, but sure enough they were.
