Video Games soar in 2005. And 2006!

Video games sold  a record 10.5 billion US dollars in 2005 retail. This was on the back of Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS launch yet Game Boy Advance still held half the portable 1.6 billion dollar market. Consoles struggled last year. But 2006 is the year of Playstation 3, xBox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. All are eagerly awaited by gamers. Understand that DS and PSP game development is barely tapped so far, and you understand why 2006 will blow the record away as the combination of new hardware and games in both console and portable markets drives monster  sales. But what will this do to other entertainment and content options?
