According to the NPD Group, annual 2005 U.S. retail sales of video games, which includes console and portable hardware, software and accessories, saw sales of over $10.5 billion - a six percent increase over the $9.9 billion generated in 2004 and another industry record, exceeding the previous record-breaking $10.3 billion generated in 2002.



While strong sales of hardware, software and accessories for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP helped drive another record breaking year for the industry, the backbone of the portable market continues to be Nintendo' s GBA. In 2005, GBA software represented 64 percent of total portable software units sold and 52 percent of total portable software dollar sales.


The figures are impressive, let' s hope the companies don' t use the money to make more good looking, half-assed gameplay type of games (mainstream sports games and shit like that).

*Sorry the list is not neat, had to edit on my own. pasting capabilities are limited on this forum.
