Recession? We don’t appear to know the meaning of the word. The Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia has announced the local industry generated just a smidgeon under $2 billion last year. That’s up a remarkable 47% on 2007. So-called “family games” were the biggest growth area, with GfK sales data showing the genre expanded 137% while G-rated games also grew well above the year’s average. From all that, I think it’s safe to say the Wii had a very good year.
