Online gaming market will reach $ 4.5 billion in 2012
According to a report by DFC Intelligence , in 2006 the volume of the online computer games market was $ 4.5 billion. Forecasters predict that by 2012 this figure will reach $ 13 billion.
The largest share in the income of companies are the money received from subscription services. But in 2012 it can be reduced to 40%.
In the future, analysts say, digital delivery will be used for PC games (this method will become the leading business model in East Asia). However, the game content for consoles will not remain far behind the stern either: by 2012 the supply volume of “console” games will increase to $ 1 billion. ')
