Part I Here:Games VS Movies - Part Ⅱ
The First Round: Game Wins?!
NPD: More Americans play games than go to movies
A greater percentage of Americans play videogames than go out to the movies, according to a new report from chart compiler and research firm The NPD Group.
Extracts from the report "Entertainment Trends in America" suggests that 63 per cent of Americans have played a videogame in the past six month, compared to just 53 per cent for those visiting a cinema. However, both activities are dwarfed by the number who listened to music during the same period - which runs to 94 per cent.
"Videogames account for one-third of the average monthly consumer spending in the US for core entertainment content, including music, video and games," said analyst A nita Frazier. "While a portion of that share stems from the premium price of console games, we’re also seeing an overall increase in the number of people participating in gaming year-over-year."

A total of 10 per cent of the 11,000 consumers questioned admitted to playing videogames on a social network. Meanwhile, 5 per cent paid to download a game from the Web - an increase of 2 per cent on the previous year
Other statistics from the report show that the average gamer spent over USD 38 per month on gaming content in the first three months of 2009. Within the last 12 months 31 per cent of gamers bought a new home or portable console game, up 7 per cent on the previous year.
The report also found that 31 per cent of console gamers also played a game on a gaming website, 12 per cent played on a social network site, 19 per cent played a game ded on their mobile phone and 11 per cent bought and downloaded a game to a mobile phone.

Pretty stupid how some people call this a WOW clone. I certainly understand that WOW is big in the US as the US have not evolved in the future mmo genre but do
understand that the art styles of Tera, Lineage 2, ZerA are very similar because it's KOREAN MODERN CONCEPT ART (fit in your head) just like WOW has very weird art styles, asians go for a very commercial and attractive look. I look forward to playing Tera since the gameplay looks wicked and the UI is plain and simple. If you are not into korean MMOs and only support games such as WOW then don't play. Though I'm sure TerA will set fire just like Blade & Soul will.
WoW is EQ clone its a fact do ur research if u think its not. And wow WAS the "shit" pre bc. Onyxia, Molten Core, BWL NAxxx 40 man raids were the BEST which made WOW the BEST MMORPG but since BC came it became a grindfest then blizzard decided 2 nerf the name 2 the ground ( no req to get into hyjal or black temple ) and now they just nerf'd the shit outa ulduar so GG blizzard 4 killing a great MMO but its not their fault its the QQing noobs that think game was 2 hard to play. Anyway Guild Wars 2 will kill WoW 
Facebook, haha. Is that what Sony really thinks? Sorry, but they are wrong. Of course WoW will *eventually* be dwarfed by *something*. Game technology keeps evolving, graphics, gameplay, etc. One day it will be taken over by something. But not by a Facebook MMO. I'm sure that someone at Sony has a daughter that is like "All my friends and I are on Facebook!" and that affects their thinking, but the reality is, that isn't the lauchpad for the next big thing, just because it is a social place and you already have an account. You can make an account at a new game within 60 seconds, it's not a big deal to do so. It doesn't have to be somewhere you already have accounts. Plus, you are using Facebook for different reasons than to play games. There are a billion people there that have no interest in MMO's. Are Sony exects that ignorant?
Its so good to live in 2009. Some online games have really good graphics and psp games are also getting better this year(I have the psp (hahahaha!!!!))
Happy happy birthday MMOsite!
a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.
