Video Games Pwn Hollywood


Recent NPD reports show that more people are playing video games than going to the movies.  The NPD data shows that 63% of Americans have played a video game in the last six months, whereas only 53% have left the house to watch a movie.

What does this mean for the two industries?

Well, it means that both are making tons o' cash.  In a recession period with high unemployment rates, the fact that 53% of the population is going to see movies and 63% are playing video games means that a lot of money is being spent on entertainment.

But what the heck gamers, have a field day!  Tell all your "scriptwriter" and "film maker" friends to get real jobs and stimulate this economy.
