Video Game Sales Bigger Than DVDs and Blu-ray Sales Last Year

By Brian Ashcraft on January 27, 2009 at 5:00 PM

Last year, video games trumped the global combined sales of DVD and Blu-ray. Congrats, video games!


The sales of video games grew 20 percent to US$32 billion while the sales of DVD and Blu-ray slumped 6 percent to US$29 billion. Does that mean more people bought video games?

Nope! With video games carrying a higher price tag, more people bought movies, so there you go.
