Game sales to reach $81,000,000,000 in 2016!

According to GameSpot, an analyst has done his magic and seen that the future of video game sales is huge. There have already been $66 billion dollars in sales of video games - now, that number is going to climb very quickly to $81 billion!



There's no doubt that games in the Call of Duty series made a huge piece of that money; alongside World of Warcraft and its expansions. Activision-Blizzard got the most out of single games, it seems... Black Ops sold more copies than any other game in history, with around 25-30 million copies sold!


Nonetheless, This is a great milestone in gaming history. Passing eighty-billion dollars in sales of video games just shows how big the industry has gotten and how big it's going to get.

PS3 Price drops to $249!

The PS3 price has dropped. It's now $249, €249 and ¥24,980.





The 360 has dropped significantly since its release a few years ago; the PS3 hasn't dropped quite as far, but it's getting there. Unfortunately, the PS3 isn't in as much of demand as the 360. Xbox 360 has many more games, including indie games and mainstream games that are released and going to be released for it. The PS3 has very few exclusives and not as much to offer, other than a free network unlike the 360.

Capcom, reports 1,200,000,000 in annual sales!

Capcom, the publisher of hit games like Resident Even 5, has reported that they've made a new record amount for this year - 1.2 billion dollars! This is, of course, only the sales; this doesn't mean that they've made this much in profit.

Capcom is an awesome publisher and I hope for them the best! One of their newest games, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, is their fourth best selling game. I wonder if I should check out this new game? It doesn't look that bad... then again, I'd have to buy a portable...

Fallout: New Vegas, Gets 3 more DLC packs soon

Fallout: New Vegas came out only a few months ago and it already has one DLC pack, Dead Money; the first DLC pack was received well. The game, Fallout: New Vegas, was bashed at first because of the terrible and hilarious bugs that were scattered throughout the game - like people's heads spinning around like they were possessed... this even included the very first NPC the player character wakes up to - making the player feel like it's supposed to happen, but at the same time it makes the game look stupid.





_______________________________________________________________________________

The three new DLC packs that are coming out are called...


• Honest Hearts: The player is trapped at Utah's Zion National Park and must escape a roving tribal war party
• Old World Blues: Some mad scientists are conducting experiments and doing many things to further mutate people in the wasteland; now, the player can fight them or help them
• Lonesome Road: The player will be contacted by the Courier Six and they will ask the player to go into a place called the Divide; this is a place decimated by hurricanes and earthquakes

Game Industry Devs, Averaged around $81,000 last year(2010)!

Game Developers aren't doing so badly at making money these days; last year (2010), game developers averaged $81,000 per person! This is awesome news, because a couple of years ago, people were saying the game industry was doing terribly (then again, so was everything else!)

Nonetheless, I am happy to hear this news; it makes me believe that I still have a chance to get a career in the video game development field!

ESRB, auto-rate some video games

The ESRB is going to auto-rate some of the DLC and other games being released soon; this will save a lot of time and money for everyone. Basically, they're going to ask multiple choice questions and determine a rating based on an algorithm.





I think this is awesome! I really hope that it goes well for the ESRB, even though they really should have done it a long time ago. They should have started when expansions started being released for games, years ago. All well, at least they're going to do it now. There are too many games being released these days for them to rate all of them with actual people being there.

Netflix controlled by Kinect?

It looks like Kinect is being used for everything these days! Sony and Wii might as well give up their motion controls and adapt to the Kinect, because it's winning over everything... Netflix has decided, apparently to allow controls by Kinect. This makes things a bit interesting and awesome at the same time.

Kinect for Netflix controls are only on the Xbox 360 right now, though; however, the Kinect is so awesome that I would bet it could at least spread to a few other Netflix decides. If you don't know what Kinect is: Kinect is a motion control device - need for a controller or remote of any kind, because it senses sound, movements (gestures), pictures and many other things!



This Kinect thing is getting really big, and has caused Microsoft to make a lot of money and their game and 360 sales to go way up!

Tokyo Game Show - Unaffected by Earthquake in Japan! :D

The Earthquake caused a lot of problems for Japan - including tsunamis, nuclear reactor problems, tons of damage and many problems with Japanese companies and their affiliates - however, it won't be a problem for the Tokyo Game Show!

This is a good thing - the Japanese game industry has suffered slightly from the quake, but now this will help bring it back up! I think, anyway..
