Game sales to reach $81,000,000,000 in 2016!




According to GameSpot, an analyst has done his magic and seen that the future of video game sales is huge. There have already been $66 billion dollars in sales of video games - now, that number is going to climb very quickly to $81 billion!

There's no doubt that games in the Call of Duty series made a huge piece of that money; alongside World of Warcraft and its expansions. Activision-Blizzard got the most out of single games, it seems... Black Ops sold more copies than any other game in history, with around 25-30 million copies sold!

Nonetheless, This is a great milestone in gaming history. Passing eighty-billion dollars in sales of video games just shows how big the industry has gotten and how big it's going to get.

Harmonix, makers of Rock Band, to Announce new game



Harmonix, the developers of the well known series, Rock Band, has stated that there will be no Rock Band 4 in 2011. This seems to be the same path that all music game developers are taking. There is no Guitar Hero in 2011, either.

Now, Harmonix has stated that they will be announced a new game at E3! This is the same time that Nintendo will be unveiling a new console! Microsoft will be unveiling tons of new Kinect enabled games - not remakes or rereleases! Original games made just for Kinect!

Sony has been having a pretty harsh time, recently; who knows what is going to happen with them; I've read that Sony doesn't plan to unveil a console until 2014 - the same year as Microsoft plans to release their next, unannounced console.

I wonder what Harmonix is announcing and I wonder what a lot of things will be like this year at E3! This is going to be a very big event, this time... New console, Sony's big problems and confronting customers, a bunch of new Kinect games...
