It won't be long now...

Video games are poised to "eclipse" all other forms of entertainment, according to games studio boss Mike Griffith...

...He quoted US market statistics which showed that between 2003 and 2007 sales of movie tickets fell by 6%; the number of hours of TV watched dropped by 6%, sales of recorded music slumped 12% and purchases of DVDs remained flat.

Over the same four-year period, said Mr Griffith, the video game industry grew by 40%. "Video games are poised to eclipse all other forms of entertainment in the decade ahead," he said.

I was under the impression they already did? In direct media sales anyway (not including merchandising and what not)
