"Though reports of low video game sales in the 2005 holiday season, normally a critical time for the entertainment industry, were widespread, the NPD Group's final numbers for North American video game sales in 2005, according to analyst reports, reveal that the industry continued to grow, and broke sales records set in 2002.

Total sales for the year were over $10.5 billion, an improvement of six percent over 2004's $9.9 billion and narrowly edging out 2002's $10.2 billion."

concidering the ammount of A list titles that came out this year compared to last year, I'm very impressed.

My only question is was this for both Software, and hardware sales or for just software. I'm sure the X-box helped a bit, but from the counsil areas, they said that it actualy droped in sales this year because of the next gen systems next year.

Anyways, its great to see the game industry march on.
