Games have indeed only outperformed box office revenues, though that alone is quite impressive... It also shows a substantial shift in how people spend their spare time.

(e.g. http://www.dfcint.com/game_article/nov03article.html). Do the $10 billions take only into account the US market?<br/><br/>2- Talking to someone from "hollywood" three years ago, she told me that the "more than Hollywood" statement was essentially a big lie. It should be read as "more than the box office" revenues, which is a very different thing. Indeed, the box office only represents something like a fifth of the incomes for a movie nowadays (licenses, DVD, ... generate much more money) Two remarks :
