Interactive
Games on the Internet:
An Industry Poised for the Future
| Interactive
games are a $6.5 billion market with sales rivaling those of the
motion picture box offices. Forrester Research forecasts that interactive
games will be a
$26 billion market by 2005. A report
from Datamonitor predicts that online game revenues for the
U.S. and Europe will grow from $82 million in 1999 to $4.9 billion in
2004, as the number of online gamers in the U.S. and Europe grows from
8.3 million to 73.0 million. Which technologies and business models will drive this
expanding market? Will entertainment companies profit from
games on the
Internet? This panel of top executives will discuss recent technological and creative developments in the interactive games industry, describe business and employment opportunities being created as a result of such developments and provide insights on what the future holds for gaming on the Internet. |
