The charge of video games :. and business stories from blockbuster – La Gazzetta dello Sport

In the early 80, the global market of digital entertainment products moving annual sales of one billion and a half dollars. Numbers already considered amazing for that time pioneering. Today, thirty years later, it is not unusual to see how that money is spent by fans in a single weekend. That of video games, however, remains one of the strongest industries. The credit is to be given by the enormous technological development of gaming platforms, which allowed software makers to create titles more and more exciting and with a depth of content that rivals, probably, the same film industry.

The new proposals – So, just over a month from Christmas, the major gaming open (like every year) the range proposals, launching innovations decided to grab a slice of hearty greedy “cake” of Christmas gifts. The week just ended, to that effect, was particularly rich. Full of news, with the launch of two titles from “AAA” (the expected Bethesda Fallout 4 and the new chapter in the saga of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider The Rise of) rich and economically, with a total of approximately two billion dollars, burned in just over three days. Pulverized sales records to “day one” own Fallout 4 that tells the story of a displaced person, engaged in a desperate struggle for survival in post-apocalyptic America (the game is set in 2287). The saga of post-atomic able to place 12 million copies and collects 750 million dollars in a single weekend.

Among the best-selling titles, Fallout 4: in an apocalyptic future

Star Wars incoming – Star Wars coming to the primacy contenderne the new chapter in the saga of Call of Duty ( Black Ops III) Activision that copies can piazzarne only (so to speak) 9 million, for a turnover of 550 million. Bringing up the rear (do you still say) Halo 5 (the science fiction saga of Microsoft starring genetically modified soldier Master Chief) that stops at $ 400 million. The Christmas offer, however, is much more varied, featuring cult titles like the last episode of Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft (set, this year, in Victorian England) or Star Wars Battlefront Electronic Arts, expected next Thursday by Star Wars fans. The challenge of Christmas is still at the beginning.
