| Online Gaming Revenues to Triple by 2009 Revenues from U.S. online gaming services will increase from $1.1 billion in 2005 to more than $3.5 billion in 2009, according to Networked Gaming: Driving the Future, a new report from Parks Associates. Networked gaming services, including online console gaming, massively multiplayer online gaming (MMOG), multiplayer Internet gaming, and mobile multiplayer gaming, will account for almost 50% of online gaming revenues in 2009, followed by digital downloads at 23%. The report also concludes that games-on-demand services will complement digital distribution and, in addition, game publishers and service providers could generate significant derivative revenue from in-game advertising and secondary market exchange. Networked Gaming: Driving the Future discusses consumer adoption of networked gaming, including consumer profiles and interest in connected and cross-platform gaming. It also covers the technology solutions enabling such services and examines the market impact and revenue opportunities for game developers, hardware manufacturers, and broadband service providers. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
