When it comes to the video game market and the question of who is the star, in my opinion it would be the computer game market. “New console systems from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are expected to help the console segment regain some momentum in the 2014 to 2015 timeframe,” said DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole. “However, the steadiest area of growth is on the PC and mobile side.” The fact that computer games have been around a long time and they continue to evolve. The question mark in this is the The cash cow in my eyes is the playstation consoles. EEDAR forecasts that DLC content will generate $875 million in revenues this year alone in North America, and that figure should rise to more than $1 billion next year. With the launch of the Wii U and the increasing installed bases of Xbox 360 and PS3, DLC revenues should total around $2 billion worldwide, EEDAR said. The dog in this case is the handheld systems. A Nintendo representative says "Ok, so the handheld gaming console isn’t dead just yet. But with Nintendo reporting their first-ever yearly loss to the tune of half a billion dollars amid struggling 3DS sales, it’s clear that Nintendo feels the specialized handheld gaming market may be on life support".
