Gaming market is certainly on the boom. I had personally witnessed how much growth and profit the gaming sector can achieve. Even now the market for games are going strong as there would always be people interested in buying games irrespective of the economic situation that prevails around them.

I'd take what PwC says with a grain of salt, but otherwise I've read from industry publications that the video game industry is becoming larger than the film industry.

I think the gratification from playing video games is worth the expense to the gamers and may provide an escape from financial considerations for a while.

I've noticed that Asia tends to take the lead in these types of trends, much more so than the United States or Europe. Any idea why that might be? They big unknown here is what type of game will make the angel investor a lot of money for their investment. For every game that explodes on to the scene, there are hundreds that appear one day only to fizzle out the next. Be careful.
