Did you think the year in games wasn't all that great? Yeah, me too. No major title releases this year to speak of, really. Yet they've come up with a figure like this? If it's this huge now, imagine what '07's going to be like...

"2006 was definitely a huge year for console video games as the three major console players released next-generation systems. Nintendo released its Wii and Sony recently introduced its PlayStation 3. Microsoft released its XBOX 360 near the end of 2005, driving up sales for 2006."
