Study says game industry will reach $11.6 billion in 2001 by Robert Mayer Cowles/Simba Information, a market intelligence and forecasting company, has published a research report predicting that the market for interactive entertainment will grow to $11.6 billion in 2001. That would represent a 112.9 percent increase from the $5.5 billion in 1997. The 170-page "Interactive Entertainment 1998: Sizing the Market for Games and Recreation" report, which can be ordered from the company's Web site for $1,295, says growth in new technologies such as DVD ROM and online games will represent $3.4 billion in sales by 2001. "The online games and DVD ROM segments will contribute significantly to the industry's growth during the next several years as more consumers go online and DVD drives become standard on every PC," said report author Jennifer Doyle. "Online games services, in particular, will be driven by growth in advertising revenue." The report tracks five industry segments, PC CD ROM, Console CD ROM, online games services, Internet TV, and DVD ROM. cdmag.com Coy
