Video Game Article

For this post for CEC, we were asked to find an article, read it, and then blog about it.

This article was done by the Economist magazine.  There wasn’t an author stated for this article.  The title was “All the world’s a game”.  The main idea was simply to inform the public that videogames are on the rise and to just give out some background info.  For instance, Japan likes different games than America.  China is the second biggest market when it used to be Japan.  Of course, USA is the biggest market.  Multiple records have been set with videogames.  MW3 sold 750 million dollars in just five days (I picked up two copies – one for me and my brother. AWESOME GAME!!)  Really, this article was simply explaining some important info. that videogames are on the rise.  However, I was just using this article as some basic background info.  It would help if I haven’t lost the instructions for the paper!!

I must say, it was interesting seeing those stats and info.  Yet, I was not surprised.  I remember when it was just a small business.  Hardly anybody thought it was worth the time.  Well, my parents did.  They read in between the lines and saw what videogames could do for and my brother and me.  Especially for me, with my language difficulties.   Now, it is a worldwide business.  There are magazines, articles, websites, pop, food.  You name it, there is something based on or related to videogames.  Again, I was not surprised.  However, I was surprised that more and more “normal” people are playing it.  Even old people are starting to play it!!  Now, that is a sign that videogames are quickly becoming one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world.  Perhaps the best.  The technology is starting to get to the point that anybody can play and is easy to play.  It used to be that only the hardcore and quick-learners could play.  Now, it is the exact opposite.

Basically, this article was really quite interesting.  Some great background info.
