The video game industry has triumphed. Thirty years ago, video games were simply perceived as another form of entertainment, a mere component of an emerging, marginal counter-culture. But in just one generation, video games have become the 21st century's dominant cultural industry.
Three billion hours are spent gaming every week worldwide. It is now possible to play 24 hours a day, anywhere, anytime, and on any platform.
And contrary to popular belief, it is not young male geeks who comprise the majority of gamers. The average gamer today is a mother in her forties - the counterpart of the "housewife under 50" who was the holy grail for TV advertisers last century.
