The video game industry is a major entertainment industry that has over $20 billion in annual sales.[1] Video game sales surpassed Hollywood revenue in the year 2007.[2]
The biggest one-day movie opening was New Moon, which grossed $72 million on its first day[3], while the biggest video game opening was Call of Duty: Black Ops, which grossed over $360 million its first day[4], more than most total revenue of most movies. However, it should be taken into consideration that the average video game can cost more than 7 times the average movie ticket (games can exceed $50, often reaching $60).
