Do you really believe any B/S about gaming from THESE guys
Hi gamers
not something I do but I REALLY have an issue the way this firm (Gartners) is taken as being a total 100% reliable forecaster in predictions.
Most of their stuff is only about 50% correct -- about the same as you'd get with random guessing so do you believe this :
...................According to market research firm Gartner, video game-related spending is expected to reach $112.0 billion by 2015, with 50.4% of spending on software ($56.5 billion). Over the next five years, the share of gaming hardware, as a percentage of total spending on gaming, will remain constant while spending on the fast-growing online gaming outpaces software spending.
Gartner estimates that consumer spending on global online gaming (subscriptions and micro transactions) will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27% through 2015. Online gaming is expected to grow from 15.6% in 2010 to 25.2% by 2015, representing the highest growth among all other gaming platforms.............
Now Gaming is highly specialized -- you can't grow a Mature market at these levels.
So what do you think.
Cheers
