Growth of gaming in 2007 far outpaces movies, music

Comparison

We need to remind ourselves that we're all in the content business now. If we produce the content that consumers want, they will reward us with their purchases. I understand that this all sounds so abstract; but I wouldn't want to be living that "abstraction" in the music industry right now.

Both the movie and music industries should be jealous of gaming's 2007 growth. The motion picture industry saw modest growth in 2007, reporting a total box office take of $9.66 billion, a modest increase over 2006's $9.49 billion. Things aren't going as smoothly for the music industry. The RIAA has not yet released its 2007 report, but we did learn from the IFPI today that global music sales fell about 10 percent for the year.
